too much• No one country too

citizens• Was “one of them”

Problems

the Second Republic of France• Currently (since 1958) France is on
its Fifth…
A Republic Divided
• Deep differences• Bourgeois liberals –
constitution/political reform• Socialists – social & economic
reform– Set up national workshops – provided
work for unemployed
June Days
• Bourgeoisie won control of gov’t• Got rid of workshops• Ticked off the Socialists & workers• Workers – “Bread or Lead!”
More Violence
• Bourgeoisie – attacked protestors
• 1500 killed before gov’t crushed rebellion
• Left a deep mistrust between the bourgeoisie and the working class

Election
• Over 9 million could vote (up from 200,000)
• Elected Louis Napoleon• Nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte• Appealed to liberals – sympathy for
working class• Appealed to conservatives – name =
restore order
Buh-Bye Republic

SPW: Interpreting Marx
“ The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!”
Karl Marx, Communist Manifesto
