Abstract

This article takes a look at three broadly identified ideologies present in Germany during the course of the 1848 Revolution. These perspectives define goals set by different social classes and what their idea of a unified Germany may or may not look like. The research was conducted using as much primary source research as possible, utilizing memoirs, newspapers, and a few excerpts from flyers. The overall idea is to show that the 1848 Revolution should not be regarded as a failure, and should be looked at for what it did accomplish in organizing the political goals of social classes and helping Germans begin a serious discussion of unification.
