3. Why was it said that "when France sneezes, all of Europe catches cold?" [refer to the events in Hungary, Austria, Prussia, Spain, and Italy in 1848].

5. Why did Louis Blanc become popular in Paris during the June uprisings there?

9. Why can it be said that "1848 was the turning-point at which modern history didn't turn?"
10. Why were the 1848 revolutions unsuccessful?
11. Even though they were an immediate failure, what were some of the long-term effects of the Revolutions of 1848? What political gains were sustained?
