Revolutions between 1830 and 1848

The revolutions between 1830 and 1848 such as the Decembrist revolt, French Revolution of 1830, the French Revolution of 1848, the Frankfurt assembly and Hungarian revolution of 1848 were concluded as complete failures according to historians. In class to help students better classify the failures of each revolution students created a scale of failure. Then the teacher sorted the class into groups and assigned each group one of the revolutions listed previously. Each group was to read facts about thier revolution and create a survey monkey using primary sources. Creating the Scale of failures adviced each group an enhanced comprehension on what to consider a complete failure. Creating the survey monkeys helped students learn about other groups assigned revolutions

My group's assinged revolution was the Hungarian revolution of 1848. This revolution started in the Austrian empire when a revolt broke out in Vienna caused by students and workers protesting. This revolt caused Metternich to resign and flee. The revolution began to quickly expanse to other parts of the empire. In Budapest, a Hungarian hero, Louis kossuth led a Hungarian nationlist in favor of a independent government, the end of serfdom and a written constitution. In A History of the Nineteenth Century, Year by Year, Volume 2 By Edwin Emerson, Maurice Magnus 1900 , it stated, "Kossuth declared in the Diet “From the charnel house of the Viennese system a poison laden atmosphere steals over us It would paralyze our nerves and pin us down when we might soar The future of Hungary..." This excerpt describes what kossuth wanted from the diet. In Prauge Czechz  requested the same demands. Austrian empire agreed to reform due to the overwhelmed of events that occurred at this time. Gains were only temporary because shortly Austrian troops recaptured their power of Praugue and Vienna with the assistance of the Russian troops.  From the National song of Hungarary written by Alexander Petofi it stated,"The time has come, say one and all: Shall we be slaves, shall we be free? This is the question, now agree! For by the Magyar's God above." This song provided a rebels perpective during the Hungarian revolution. They felt like they were slaves Rebels in Budapest were destroyed and many were also executed, imprisoned or exiled.

Below are screenshots of my groups survey monkey on the Hungarian revolution. The results showed that students in the class learned the survey.

Although the results of the revolutions listed above  were failures, success was achieved at some point during the revolution. For example, during the French Revolution of 1848 the congress of Vienna was able to restore Louis XVIII to the French throne were be was able to issue a monarchy. Also, the French revolution of 1848 the National Assembly was dominated by members who wanted to change order and issued a constitution. The only complete failure of a revolution was the Decembrist revolt where no success was made and any rebels were imprisoned and excuted. The French Revolution of 1848 and 1830 were just two examples of temporary  success but the Decembrist revolt was a complete failure.
