Key Notes
European upheavals Jiang treats as anticipated by Disraeli's 1844 passage.
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.
He treats England as an exception to continental revolutionary pressure because colonies gave unhappy people an exit option unavailable to most Europeans.
Jiang says Disraeli's 1844 claim about a coming German revolution is striking because revolutions did occur across Europe in 1848.
After 1848, monarchs begin embracing nationalism as a way to contain social change they can no longer hold back.
