President Monroe's annual message to Congress in 1823
 

The American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers . . .

Of events in that [European] quarter of the globe, with which we have so much intercourse and from which we derive our origin, we have always been anxious and interested spectators. The citizens of the United States cherish sentiments the most friendly in favor of the liberty and happiness of their fellow-men on that side of the Atlantic. In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy so to do . . .
 
With the movements in this hemisphere we are of necessity more immediately connected, and by causes which must be obvious to all enlightened and impartial observers. The political system of the allied powers [of Europe] is essentially different in this respect from that of America. This difference proceeds from that which exists in their respective Governments; and to the defense of our own, which has been achieved by the loss of so much blood and treasure, and matured by the wisdom of their most enlightened citizens, and under which we have enjoyed unexampled felicity, this whole nation is devoted.
 
 
We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.
 
 
With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and we shall not interfere. But with the Governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power in any other light than is the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States . . .
 
Our policy in regard to Europe . . . remains the same, which is not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers . . . to cultivate friendly relations with it, and to preserve those relations by a frank, firm and manly policy . . .  
 
It is still the true policy of the United States to leave the parties [of Latin America] to themselves, in the hope that other powers will pursue the same course . . .

1830


The July Revolution  -   La révolution de Juillet


The Three Glorious Days  -  Les Trois Glorieuses


27, 28, 29 July 1830 



During the French Revolution (1789 - 1799), the National Convention, a universally elected one-house assembly, abolished monarchy and proclaimed a Republic in 1792.


The Convention created the Committee of Public Safety as a provisional government. 


The Convention voted to condemn the deposed king, Louis XVI, and he was guillotined on 21 January 1793. His son, who would have been Louis XVII, died in prison at age ten in 1795.


By a new constitution in 1795, the Convention was replaced by a two-house legislature with a popularly elected lower house, the Council of the 500 (members), and an indirectly elected upper house, the Council of the Ancients (250 elder citizens), and a five-man executive, called the Directory, selected by the 500 and approved by the Ancients.


Napoleon Bonaparte, with the assistance of his brothers Joseph and Lucien, overthrew the Directory by a coup d'état in 1799 and replaced it with a three-man Consulate. Napoleon ruled France as the First Consul from 1799 to 1804 and ruled western Europe and much of eastern Europe as Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1814 and in 1815.


Napoleon replaced the Chamber of 500 and Chamber of 

Ancients with the Conservative Senate   -   Sénat conservateur  -   a large advisory body, in 1799. He appointed its members.    


Napoleon was defeated by the Allies in the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. He was unable to recover and the Allies invaded France in March 1814.


Napoleon's former chief advisor, Talleyrand, persuaded the Senate to form a provisional government. Talleyrand was elected president of the government on 1 April.


Czar Alexander of Russia and Talleyrand prompted the Senate to depose Napoleon.


On 2 April 1814, the Senate proclaimed the Emperor's Demise Act   -   Acte de déchéance de l'Empereur.


Napoleon's abdication on 4 April, in favour of his son as Napoleon II, was rejected by the Czar.


Napoleon abdicated without conditions on 6 April.


On 11 April, Napoleon agreed with the Allies, by the Treaty of Fontainbleau, to his exile to the island of Elba, off the coast of Tuscany.


The Senate invited the Count of Provence, Louis, the brother of Louis XVI, to assume the throne as Louis XVIII, King of France.


The Senate required Louis XVIII to accept a constitution, which it drafted, abolishing absolute monarchy and instituting constitutional monarchy and a bicameral legislature.


Louis rejected the constitution and dissolved the Senate. 


The Czar and the Allied armies occupying Paris required Louis to draft a constitution.


Louis drafted the Charter of 1814 for a constitutional monarchy including a bicameral legislature with a lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, elected indirectly by an elected Electoral College, and an upper house, the Chamber of Peers, appointed by the King.


Louis reneged on much of the Charter.  


Napoleon left Elba on 25 February 1815 and returned to France. He gathered a large army. Many soldiers defected from Louis XVIII to join Napoleon. Marshal Ney, whose troops guarded Paris, defected to Napoleon.


Louis XVIII fled.


Napoleon reached Paris on 20 March and reclaimed the throne as Emperor of the French.


Napoleon was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June, withdrew to France, and abdicated on 22 June. He surrendered to the British at Rochefort on 15 July. He was taken to permanent exile on the British island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic.


The Congress of Vienna and the Allied armies restored Louis XVIII to the throne.


Louis XVIII died in 1824.


Louis' younger brother, Charles, the Count of Artois (1757 - 1836), assumed the throne as King Charles X of France.

Louis XVIII had foregone the coronation ceremony but Charles was coroneted in a ceremony in Paris in 1825.


In 1830, Charles appointed a conservative premier and government. The premier was defeated in elections for the legislature.


On 6 July 1830, Charles suspended the constitution and dissolved the Chambers  -  the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, and the upper house, the Chamber of Peers, Chambre des Pairs. He censored the press.


Rioting broke out in Paris.


Charles fled Paris.

Attack on the Hotel de Ville and the Battle on the Arcole Bridge in Paris on 28 July 1830.



To calm the crowds, on 30 July, General Marquis de Lafayette, commander of the National Guard, and other members of the Chamber of Deputies proclaimed the popular Louis-Philippe,   Duke of Chartres (1773 - 1850), of the Orleans branch of the Bourbons, and a cousin of Charles, the Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom   -   lieutenant général du royaume   -   at the Paris City Hall   -   Hotel de Ville.


The deputies restored the tri-colour flag (red, white and blue)   -   the flag of the Kingdom and Republic from 1790 to 1794 and the flag of the Republic and Empire from 1799 to 1815   -   which Louis XVIII had replaced with a white flag in 1815.

La Fayette and Louis-Philippe appear on the balcony with the Tri-Colour.



On 31 July, Louis-Philippe accepted the position, which implied the assumption of the duties and responsibilities of head of state in the king's absence.


On 1 August, Charles confirmed the appointment of Louis-Philippe as Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom.

Charles, King of France, abdicated on 2 August.

Charles had two sons. The eldest son was the Dauphin, Louis Antoine, Duke of Angouleme (1775 - 1844). The younger son, Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, was assassinated by a Bonapartist in 1820.


After an argument with Charles, Louis Antoine abdicated also, in favour of his ten-year-old nephew, Henri, Duke of Bordeaux (1820 - 1883). Henri was the son of the late Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry.  


Charles asked Louis-Philippe, as the Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom, to inform the Chambers of his abdication and to proclaim Henri V King of France.


Louis-Philippe ordered Charles to go into exile and asked Lafayette to compel him. Lafayette dispatched troops to enforce the order.


On 3 August, Louis-Philippe informed the Chambers of the abdications of Charles and the Dauphin, Louis Antoine.


Charles, his son Louis Antoine and his grandson Henri headed for exile in England.  

Crowds occupied public buildings in Paris.  

Angry crowds surrounded the Chamber of Peers. On 6 August, Lafayette assured the crowd the Chamber of Peers would be dissolved.

The Chamber of Deputies modified the Charter of 1814, declared the throne vacant and decreed Louis-Philippe should be king.

On 7 August, deputies presented Louis-Philippe the Charter and invited him to accept the throne. 


Louis-Philippe was sworn in and proclaimed King of the French in the Chamber of Deputies on 9 August 1830.

Maria Amelia (1782 - 1866), daughter of Ferdinand, King of Naples and King of Sicily, and Maria Carolina of Austria, married Louis Philippe, Duke of Orleans, in Sicily in 1809. Thus, she was the Duchess of Orleans. She was Queen Consort of the French from 1830 to 1848.


Louis-Philippe and Maria Amelia had six sons and four daughters, born from 1810 to 1824. 


Supporters of Charles X, his son Louis Antoine and his grandson Henri were called Legitimists. Supporters of King Louis-Philippe were called Orleanists. 

Many Legitimists did not recognise the abdication of Charles and maintained that he was still the king. Others maintained that Louis Antoine was the king. Others were for Henri as king and maintained his uncle Louis Antoine or his mother, Marie Caroline, the Duchess of Berry, was the regent. 

But Louis-Philippe was favoured by the people.

Place de La Bastille, Paris, le 14 juillet 1880.


The column, called the July Column, commemorates the July Revolution of 1830. The column was planned in 1792 but construction began only in 1833, when requested by King Louis-Philippe, and completed in 1840.  


The July Revolution in France in 1830 inspired revolutions in other countries in Europe.

The Netherlands

Before the French Revolution of 1789, the Lowlands, or Netherlands, were divided into the United Provinces in the north, largely Dutch-speaking and Protestant, and the Southern Netherlands, mostly French-speaking and Catholic, ruled by the Spanish as the Spanish Netherlands and then by the Hapsburgs as the Austrian Netherlands and part of the Holy Roman Empire.

In 1794, the French Republic ousted the Austrians and annexed the Southern Netherlands to France in 1795. The Northern Netherlands, as the Batavian Republic, became a client state of France.  

Napoleon made his younger brother, Louis, King of Holland, the northern Netherlands, in 1806, but dismissed him and annexed Holland to France in 1810.

Following the defeats of Napoleon in 1813, 1814 and 1815, the Northern and Southern Netherlands were reunited eventually as the United Kingdom of the Netherlands under one king.  

Revolution broke out in Brussels and spread to other cities in August 1830. A hastily assembled government in Brussels voted to secede from the Netherlands and declared the independence of Belgium.

In 1831, the government invited Leopold, a German prince (and a Protestant), to be King of the Belgians and he was sworn in on 21 July 1831.

In 1832, Leopold married Princess Louise of Orleans, daughter of Louis-Philippe, King of the French.

Revolutions


1848


In France, a financial crisis and failed harvests in 1846, an economic depression in 1847, and a very restricted voter franchise caused a growing opposition among French workers and the middle class who wanted reforms.  


An act in 1835 outlawed political meetings.


In 1847, Louis-Philippe prohibited political meetings of democrats, liberals and republicans. 


From July 1847 to February 1848 thousands of political opponents gathered at a series of 70 banquets in numerous cities to discuss electoral reform.


On 28 December, Louis-Philippe declared his opposition to any reforms.


The Prime Minister, Francois-Pierre Guizot, banned a banquet planned in Paris for 14 January.


On 22 February, Guizot, anticipating confrontations in the streets of Paris, banned a big banquet planned for later in the day for George Washington's birthday anniversary.


Soldiers were posted at various points about the city.


There were barricades and demonstrations. Demonstrators threw rocks at soldiers outside the Foreign Ministry.  


The king, Louis-Philippe, and Guizot called in the army and the National Guard.


On 23 February, National Guardsmen refused to assist the army, joined the demonstrators and petitioned the National Assembly for reform.


In the evening, the army killed and wounded dozens of demonstrators outside the Foreign Ministry.  


Guizot resigned on 24 February.


Many soldiers of the army deserted and joined the demonstrators.


Louis-Philippe considered calling more troops before deciding not to send in the army.


National Guardsmen showed their disgust with political and economic conditions to the king as he reviewed the Guard.


Louis-Philippe returned to the Tuilleries, the royal residence, and abdicated in favour of his nine-year-old grandson, Philippe, Count of Paris (1838 - 1894).


A mob attacked the Tuilleries. Louis-Philippe immediately left Paris, disguised as a civilian with the English name of Mr. Smith, for exile in England, where he lived as the Count of Neuilly.


The National Assembly planned to declare Louis-Philippe's grandson, Philippe, the Count of Paris, king.


Philippe was the eldest son of King Louis-Philippe's eldest son, Prince Ferdinand Philippe, the Prince Royal, heir to the throne, Duke of Orleans, who died in 1842. Philippe became the Prince Royal and heir to the throne upon his father's death.   


Louis-Philippe's second son, Prince Louis, the Duke of Nemours, was to be the regent but he resigned the right to Ferdinand Philippe's widow, Princess Helene of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.


Princess Helene, accompanied by Duke of Nemours, went to the Chamber of Deputies to claim the throne for her son and her right to the regency.


A mob separated Prince Louis from Helene and Philippe.  


A huge crowd invaded the Chamber of Deputies shouting 'Long live the Republic!'


Princess Helene and her son, Philippe, the Count of Paris, went into exile in Germany. 


Republicans Alphonse de Lamartine and Alexandre Ledru-Rollin formed a provisional government with a prime minister (or president or chairman) and Lamartine proclaimed the Second Republic from the Paris City Hall.


 

Alphonse de Lamartine rejects the suggestion of adopting the red flag in place of the tri-colour. Paris City Hall on 25 February 1848. Some workers wanted the red flag. Painting by Henri Félix Emmanuel Philippoteaux (1815–1884).   


On 26 February, the Chamber proclaimed the Second Republic, decreed freedom of the press and freedom of assembly, extended the voting franchise to all men age 21, and called for parliamentary elections to be held in April.


The Chamber became a 900-member National Assembly.


Elections, held on 23 April, resulted in a National Assembly dominated by a conservative majority. 


The provisional government abolished slavery in France and colonies on 27 April.


The National Assembly dissolved the provisional government on 6 May and appointed a five-man commission, which included Lamartine and Ledru-Rollin, as the executive government on 9 May.    


National legislative elections were held on 4 June.


Radicals and unemployed workers erected barricades in Paris in 23 June.


On 24 June, the Assembly compelled the five-man executive commission to resign and appointed General Cavaignac, who won a seat in the Assembly in the May elections and made Minister of War by the commission, Prime Minister (president) with all powers necessary to put down the uprising.  


The National Guard and the army clashed with protesters in Paris for three to four days, from 23 to 26 June, and thousands were killed, including the Archbishop of Paris.


Cavaignac retained his position until presidential elections, the first held n France, on 10 December.

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,


Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält.
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt,

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt!

Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.

Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang!

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand;

Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland!



The song was adopted by the German government as the national anthem in 1922.

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte

.

.



Charles-Louis Napoléon Bonaparte (1809 - 1873) was the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte.

.


He was born in Paris, the son of Louis Bonaparte, King of Holland (1806 - 1810) and younger brother of Napoleon.

.


His mother was Hortense de Beauharnais, the daughter of Marie Josčphe (Joséphine) Rose Tascher de La Pagerie (1763 - 1814) by her first marriage, to General Alexandre de Beauharnais (1760 - 1794), before her marriage to Napoleon in 1810. 

 


Louis Napoleon lived with his mother, Hortense, in France, Switzerland, Bavaria and Rome. With his brother, the seoond son of Louis Napoleon and Hortense, he joined the Carbonari, a secret society that opposed and plotted against Austrian rule of Italy. Sought by the police, the brothers had to flee. His brother died of measles in 1831. Louis Napoleon to Paris with his mother, Hortense, in 1831, and then to Britain and Switzerland, where he joined the Swiss army. 

 


Believing he could overthrow King Louis-Philippe, Louis Napoleon led a failed attempt to persuade local French troops in Strasbourg to mutiny in 1836. At Hortense's request, Louis-Philippe let him go. He travelled in the Americas. He resided in England. 

.


.

Hortense died in Switzerland in 1837.


In 1840, Louis Napoleon sailed across the Channel and failed in a second attempt to lead a coup d'état against Louis-Philippe in Boulogne. This time, he was sentenced to life in prison. He escaped back to England in 1846. 

 


The February Revolution of 1848 in France led to Louis-Philippe's abdication and exile. The monarchy was replaced by the Second Republic.

.


Louis Napoleon returned to France and ran in the second round of elections for the National Assembly in May and won a seat.



The National Assembly selected a commission of 16 delegates from the Assembly, including De Toqueville, to draft a constitution.

.


The constitution was decreed on 28 October and ratified by the Assembly on 4 November 1848.


.

The constitution provided for a president, the head of state, to be elected directly by the people to one four-year-term. There was to be one round of voting. A majority of the vote was required to win. If no candidate won a majority, the National Assembly would elect the president. A president was limited to one term.

.


The election was scheduled for 10 and 11 December.

.

Manifeste de Louis Napoléon Bonaparte aux Electeurs, Paris, le 27 novembre 1848.

.

.







Election results were announced on 20 December. 

.


Louis Napoleon won about 5.5 million votes, or about 75% of the electorate.

.


General Cavaignac, the president, who put down the June Days Uprising, was second with about 1.5 million votes, or about 20% of the electorate.

.


Louis-Napoleon was sworn in on 20 December   -   the first popularly elected president of France. 

.



Louis Napoleon styled himself 'Prince-President'.





The constitution restricted the president to a four-year-term.

Louis-Napoleon was not  eligible for a second term. Most of the National Assembly voted to change the law so Louis Napoleon could run for a second term, but the vote was less than the required two-thirds majority.

.


 




Coup d'Etat

.



With the support of the army, Louis Napoleon staged a coup d'état on 2 December 1851 and seized power.

.

.



President-for-Life


He received overwhelming support in a national referendum later in the month. He was President-for-Life.


One year later, on 2 December 1852, a national referendum voted overwhelmingly to replace the Republic with an empire and Louis Napoleon became Napoleon III, Emperor of the French.



The Second Republic was replaced by the Second Empire.
