Key Notes
Glossary
European upheavals Jiang treats as anticipated by Disraeli's 1844 passage.
diagnosis
He presents the 1848 revolutions as uprisings across Europe in which bourgeoisie, middle class, and workers demanded democracy, liberalism, socialism, and limits on religious power.
diagnosis
He treats England as an exception to continental revolutionary pressure because colonies gave unhappy people an exit option unavailable to most Europeans.
