1 Jul 1830 Jahr - The July Revolution

Beschreibung:

Charles X repudiated the Constitutional Charter in an attempted coup in 1830 (the July Revolution). He censored the press and issued decrees that stripped much of the wealthy middle class of voting rights. An insurrection in the capital by the middle class ensued. The government was brought down, Charles fled, and the middle class brought Charles’s cousin, Louis Philippe, to the throne.

Philippe accepted the Constitutional Charter and adopted the current French flag. However, demand for reform remained unanswered.
