 * **Causes** || **Epistemologies** the help us understand key perspectives or thinking that went into the Revolution || **Critical Events &key people** || **Impacts** (immediate /long term on Europe ||
 * * Louis XVIII was succeeded by Charles X (**Bourbon monarchy** restored)
 * Charles X was quite reactionary and ruled as a **constitutional monarch**
 * France was in **recession**: high bread prices, severe wage cuts, unemployment
 * July, 1830: King Charles X issued set of edicts (**July Ordinances**) that imposed rigid censorship on the press, dissolved legislative assembly, and reduced electorate in prep for new elections || **Anti-conservatism & Liberalism**: Charles X's conservative and over-bearing actions produced an immediate rebellion led by moderate liberals who longed for a more fair and, of course, liberal ruler. || The attempt of the ultraroyalists under **Charles X** to return to the ancient regime provoked the opposition of the middle classes, who wanted more voice in the government. **Jacques Laffitte** was a typical man of the bourgeois who supported liberal journalists, such as Adolphe Thiers, in opposing the government. Liberal opposition reached its peak when Charles called on the reactionary and unpopular **Jules Armand de Polignac** to form a new ministry. When the chamber of deputies registered its disapproval, Charles dissolved the chamber. New elections returned an even stronger opposition majority. Charles and Polignac responded with the July Ordinances, which established strict press control, dissolved the new chamber, and reduced the electorate. Insurrection developed, and street barricades and fighting cleared Paris of royal troops. Charles X was forced to flee and abdicated to his grandson, **Henri**. Henri was set aside, and, although there was a movement for a republic, the duc d'Orléans was proclaimed king of the French as **Louis Phillippe**. His reign was known as the July Monarchy. || The revolution of July 1830 created a constitutional monarchy. Charles X abdicated rather than become a limited monarch and departed for Great Britain. In his place Louis Philippe of the House of Orleans was placed on the throne, and he agreed to rule as a constitutional monarch. This period became known as the July Monarchy.
