July Revolution - 3 Minute History

The French monarchy was restored with a new constitution after the Congress of Vienna, with Louis XVIII ruling until 1824. His successor, Charles X, implemented controversial reforms that led to political tensions and opposition. The July Ordinances further escalated the situation, resulting in the July Revolution. This revolution ended Charles X's reign and led to Louis Philippe becoming the constitutional king, marking the start of the July Monarchy. The revolution inspired uprisings across Europe, including in Poland and Belgium. Louis Philippe faced opposition and was eventually ousted in 1848, leading to the Second Republic.
