July Revolution


 

The French Revolution of 1830, also known as the July Revolution, was a revolt by the middle class against Bourbon King Charles X which forced him out of office and replaced him with the Orleanist King Louis-Philippe (the "July Monarchy").

Effects

The revolt of 1830 created a constitutional monarchy. Charles X abdicated rather than become a limited monarch and departed for Britain. In his place Louis-Philippe of the house of Orléans was placed on the throne, and he agreed to rule as a constitutional monarch. This period became known as the July Monarchy.
