About this book:
1848 was a year of revolutions starting in Paris against the rule of King Louis Philippe. This revolution sent shock waves across Europe crashing into the very foundation of established governments. In Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Milan, Prague and Budapest, controll was wrenched from the grip of autocratic rulers; even in England the army was put into readiness to deal with Chartist rioters. In Schleswig-Holstein, a long simmering grievance came to a boil, the largely German speaking population's desire for greater freedom from their Danish masters. This book describes the armies of the contenders, their organization, uniforms and equipment.
