Practice question · Put in order
Arrange these events of 1848 and after in order.
- Frederick William IV refuses the crown offered by the Frankfurt Parliament
- Louis-Philippe abdicates in Paris
- The Communist Manifesto is published
- Serfdom is abolished in the Habsburg lands
- Metternich flees Vienna
- Louis-Napoléon seizes power in a coup
Hints
- Four of these fall within a single year.
- The Manifesto in February 1848, the abdication that same month, Metternich in March, serfdom in September, the refusal in 1849, the coup in 1851.
Show the answer
- The Communist Manifesto is published
- Louis-Philippe abdicates in Paris
- Metternich flees Vienna
- Serfdom is abolished in the Habsburg lands
- Frederick William IV refuses the crown offered by the Frankfurt Parliament
- Louis-Napoléon seizes power in a coup
Why
The speed of the first three is what made 1848 feel like a continental event: a pamphlet, an abdication and the flight of the architect of the Vienna order inside six weeks. The last two show the counter-movement working at the same pace in the other direction.
