jul 28, 1830 - July Revolution of 1830
Description:
The revolution was precipitated by Charles X’s publication of restrictive ordinances contrary to the spirit of the Charter of 1814. Protests and demonstrations were followed by three days of fighting (July 27–29), the abdication of Charles X, and the proclamation of Louis-Philippe as “king of the French”. In the July Revolution the upper middle class, or bourgeoisie, secured a political and social ascendancy that was to characterize the period known as the July Monarchy (1830–48).Added to timeline:
