The "Spring of Nations", Revolutionary Europe in 1848
A map illustrating the series of republican revolts and political upheavals against European monarchies in 1848, also known as the People's Spring or the Spring of Nations. The widespread violent unrest started in Sicily and, within a short time, spread to France, Germany, Italy, and the Austrian Habsburg Empire, only to simmer out at the western boundaries of Tsarist Russia.
