The Revolutions of 1830 and 1848

The revolutions in France during 1830 and 1848 should receive some credit towards the struggle towards greater democracy because without attempting greater democracy they may have never even tried to reach their goal. There were three wars during this time The French revolution of 1830, The Polish Revolution of 1830, and The French Revolution of 1848. They all wanted one thing that was their main goal and that was democracy. During the Polish Revolution they wanted Russia to stop ruling the Polish land and they fought on Poland Territory. They wanted to be their own Country  and didn't like the idea of Russia having power over him. During the French Revolution of 1830 they wanted Charles the 10th to stop ruling they got him out brought in Louis Philippe who pleased the french people. They wanted him off the thrown because he was an absolute monarch and they didn't like the idea of having only one ruler. This is why they revolted then. During the French Revolution of 1848 they wanted Louis Philippe off the thrown because he changed the government and made himself emperor turning France back into a monarchy. When this happened the bread price rose and factories were shut down and people were not happy. They revolted against him and tried to get the government back to the way it was. Russia ended up winning the territory in the Polish revolution and kept their land so this was a failure. The French ended up getting Charles the 10th off the thrown which was a success at the beginning yet it soon blew up in their faces because Louis the new ruler turned himself into emperor turning  France back into a monarchy which is exactly what the French people didn't want. These revolts did not work at the time but showing that these people were willing to fight for what they wanted gave other people the will to fight. This is why these revolutions had an impact on a greater democracy today because of the want for freedom these people had.
