Historical Information
In March of 1848 unrest in Vienna, fomented by students and professionals and support from workers and peasants alike, erupted into revolution. Inspired by the revolution in France just one month before, Austrian subjects residing mainly in Vienna raised demands for trial by jury, freedom of the press, academic freedom, civil rights, abolition of religious discrimination, emancipation of peasants and a constitutional representative government.
Freedom of the press was granted by the monarchy in mid-March and remained intact until November of the same year. At that time the revolution was suppressed by military action, not without some success in changing the Habsburg monarchy's leadership.
