March Revolution in Berlin
- When
- 18 March 1848
- Where
- Berlin
Berlin was a centre of the March Revolution, the opening phase of the German revolutions, during which Frederick William IV was initially forced to accommodate revolutionary sentiment.
The sources identify the March Revolution as the opening phase of the German revolutions of 1848–1849, part of the wider Revolutions of 1848. Berlin is described as a hub during these revolutions. During this period King Frederick William IV was initially forced to accommodate the people's revolutionary sentiments, and on 18 March 1848 he announced in Berlin that a United Diet would be formed and that other democratic reforms would be instituted. The supplied passages do not give casualty figures or describe barricade fighting or the king honouring the dead, so those details are omitted.
