Welcome back. Take a breath with me. Inhale. Exhale. Tonight we're traveling back in time to the heart of 19th century Europe to a moment of hope of rebellion. Of voices rising and fading into the quiet hum of history. This is the story of the German Revolution of 1848.
Imagine the year is 1848. The cobbled streets of Frankfurt, Berlin, Vienna, they hum with unrest. Not from gunfire, not yet, but from whispers, from pamphlets, from people leaning in candlelight. Speaking of freedom and unity. For decades, German speaking lands have lived under a patchwork of kings and dukes.
A confederation of nearly 40 states loosely tied together, but there is no Germany. Not yet. People are divided by borders, but united by a growing thirst. A thirst for unity, for liberty. For a voice in their own governance. And this is not only Germany in 1848. Revolution is contagious. It begins in France and spreads like a gentle wildfire.
He will not take a crown from the gutter he said. Us not from the hands of the people. And in that moment, the dream begins to die. The revolution's falter in Prussia, in Austria, across German lands, king's reassert control barricades are torn down. Constitutions are revoked. And the brave hearts of 1848.
