What happened during the Three Glorious Days in Paris in July 1830?

The "Three Glorious Days" (les Trois Glorieuses), occurring from July 27 to 29, 1830, refers to the insurrection in Paris that ended the reign of Charles X and led to the rise of Louis-Philippe as "king of the French."12

The conflict was triggered by the king's publication of four restrictive ordinances on July 26, which dissolved the Chamber of Deputies, suspended freedom of the press, and significantly curtailed the electorate. In response, workers, students, and petty bourgeois citizens took to the streets, erecting barricades and engaging in armed confrontation with royal forces. By July 29, some army units began to fraternize with the insurgents, and the capital effectively fell into the hands of the rebels.132

While republicans sought to establish a republic, constitutional monarchists successfully maneuvered to offer the crown to Louis-Philippe. The crisis concluded when Louis-Philippe appeared at the Hôtel de Ville with the Marquis de Lafayette, signaling the transition to a constitutional monarchy and the eventual abdication of Charles X.234
