Revolutions of 1848 in France (Part 2 of 5)

In the second part of my lecture on the Revolutions of 1848, I focus on the French Revolution of 1848, where the French overthrew the "Citizen King," Louis Philippe, and established a short-lived Second Republic under the leadership of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. After he was term-limited by the Second Republic's constitution, Louis Napoleon staged a coup d'etat and established the Second French Empire with himself as emperor. It appears that the Napoleonic apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

As a college history teacher I think this emphasis on memorization so prevalent in high school History classes doesn't do students any favors. I think they benefit a lot more having a teacher that makes history fun and applicable to their own lives that's more valuable. Clearly you are one of those Mr Richey. Keep it up. 😊

I love you man. I'm writing a history essay on the topic of the revolutions but all I was able to do was gather different random events from sources that explain them vaguely. Then you came along and put together all the pieces of the puzzle. Thank you so much

Hey Tom! Just wanted to thank you for the awesome videos. :) Just took my AP Exam this previous Friday and these helped my review immensely. Coincidentally enough, I got a question on Gustavus Adolphus and I knew it because of your videos. :P

I used to watch your videos all the time while i was back in High School 6 or so years ago while i was back home in America. They saved me many times during my AP courses! Since then i’ve moved to france and i found your video while searching for the French revolution of 1848, very helpful! BTW i love your french pronunciation!

I heard Napoleon II died young from some illness or something. Thank you SO much for making these lectures, I'm a History college student from Portugal and I sent your videos to my classmates to revise for the Contemporany History test. Your videos are fantastic and super useful. Also, you're an awesome teacher. Keep the good job! Greetings from Lisbon ^-^

Most comments here at pretty old but I just wanted you to know that this is still incredibly helpful in 2020. Needed context for Marx's 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, this was perfect. Thank you ❤️

I'm reading Lenin's State and Revolution and wanted some context for the section on "The Experience of 1848-51". Thanks for the help with my political education Tom

If I'm not mistaken, Napoleon II was Napoleon's son. Napoleon wanted to make him his heir before being exiled to Elba, but they wouldnt let him. So technically, he was Emperor for the short interlude between Napoleon asking about making him his heir and his proposal then being rejected.
