To these states belonged [[Austria]] as well though [[Hungary]] that was part of the [[Austria-Hungary|Austrian-Hungarian Empire]] was not part of the German Confederation. These revolutions had as example the [[French Revolution of 1848]] in February 1848, when [[King Phillipe]] of France [[abdication|abdicated]] the throne. The biggest successes of the German revolutions happened in March in [[Berlin]] and [[Vienna]]. The result was the [[election]] of a German National Assembly in [[Frankfurt am Main]].

Austria and Prussia withdrew their delegates from the Assembly, and the Assembly itself slowly disintegrated afterwards. == Related pages == * [[European Revolutions of 1848]] == Other websites == * [http://mars.acnet.wnec.edu/~grempel/courses/germany/lectures/081848.html 1848: REVOLUTION AND REACTION] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051210142541/http://mars.acnet.wnec.edu/~grempel/courses/germany/lectures/081848.html |date=2005-12-10 }} * [http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/culture/history/1848.html German Revolution of 1848/49] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060107074416/http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/culture/history/1848.html |date=2006-01-07 }} * [http://www.serve.com/shea/germusa/perspekt.htm The German 1848 Revolution: A German Perspective]{{Dead link|date=April 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} * [http://www.lwl.org/westfaelische-geschichte/portal/In
