The French Revolution of 1830, also known as the July Revolution, Second French Revolution or Trois Glorieuses in French, saw the overthrow of King Charles X, the French Bourbon monarch, and the ascent of his cousin Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, who himself, after 18 precarious years on the throne, would in turn be overthrown. It marked the shift from one constitutional monarchy, theBourbon Restoration, to another, the July Monarchy; the transition of power from the House of Bourbon to its cadet branch, theHouse of Orléans; and the replacement of the principle of hereditary right by popular sovereignty.
Lyon Rebellions of 1831 and 1834
the first independent armed actions of the French proletariat, provoked by the difficult position of the workers and minor artisans employed inthe silk-weaving industry in the city of Lyon.
The 1831 uprising began on
November 21 in
connection with the refusal of
the manufacturers to
accept the new, higher rates for the weavingworkers that had been agreed upon by a
combined commission of
owners and weavers. The rebels’ slogan was “Live working, or
die fighting!”On
November 23
the government troops, which had been routed in
battle, were forced to
abandon the city; however, stronger military unitsentered Lyon on
December 1–3 and suppressed the uprising.
The cause of
the uprising of
1834 (which began on
April 9)
was the ratification by
the Chamber of
Deputies of a
bill prohibiting workers’associations and the subsequent reprisals of
the authorities against the participants in a
strike in
Lyon in
February 1834.
In Germany there were social and economic uprising.
