Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What immediately provoked the French revolution of July 1830?

    Model answer

    Charles X's ordinances dissolving the newly elected chamber, muzzling the press and cutting the electorate, which were seen as a coup against the charter.

  2. 2

    What was the outcome of the July Days in Paris?

    Model answer

    Three days of street fighting drove Charles X into exile and the Orleanist Louis-Philippe was installed as king of the French under a revised charter.

  3. 3

    Why is 1830 in France called a bourgeois revolution?

    Model answer

    Because the workers who built the barricades gained nothing while the property franchise was merely widened enough to bring in the wealthier middle class.

  4. 4

    What happened in Belgium in 1830?

    Model answer

    A rising in Brussels against Dutch rule led to a declaration of independence, which the powers accepted, and Leopold I became king of a neutral Belgium.

  5. 5

    Why did the Belgian revolution succeed where others failed?

    Model answer

    Britain and France both preferred an independent neutral Belgium to Dutch rule or a French annexation, so the eastern powers were given no opening to intervene.

  6. 6

    What was the fate of the Polish rising of 1830?

    Model answer

    It was crushed by Russian armies within a year, the constitution of the Kingdom of Poland was withdrawn and thousands of Poles went into exile.
