les Trois Glorieuses
French history
Quick Summary
The "Trois Glorieuses," or Three Glorious Days, refers to the July Revolution in France, which took place from July 27–29, 1830. This insurrection led to the overthrow of King Charles X and the installation of Louis-Philippe as the "king of the French". The revolution was sparked by Charles X's issuance of restrictive ordinances that contradicted the Charter of 1814. This period marked the ascendancy of the upper middle class, or bourgeoisie, ushering in the era known as the July Monarchy, which lasted until 1848.12
