France experienced multiple revolts and political changes during the Victorian Era unlike the more politically stable Britain.  Louis-Philippe d'Orleans rules from 1830-1848 until there was a revolt in Paris.  This revolt causes the King to flee and France to become a Republic for only 3 years, but influences other revolts in surrounding countries such as Hungary and Austria.(Collingham)  This revolt has been leading up to this point from political and worker unrest in the 1840's (which is spread across Europe at this time), due to multiple factors: Woman's rights, the repeal movement, increasing violence in Ireland, sanitary reforms, the regulation of work hours, Catholicism and religious tolerance, are a few of the issues causing this unrest. (Briggs)

 To go along with this revolt in Paris in 1848, is the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.  It was requested by a group of German revolutionary exiles based in London.  This is a Pamphlet that was privately distributed during these radical times.  This pamphlet got reissued a few times but there were only hundreds of copies produced and only 26 recorded to still be around today.(British Library)

 Although, The Communist Manifesto is largely neglected during this time it has become a very influential and iconic text of 20th Century Communism.  But it really shows the unrest of these workers at the time.  Especially in France with multiple revolutions and changes of Monarchy and Leadership.  Even inside the Manifesto, Marx mentions that the "Socialist and Communist literature of France, that originated under the pressure of a bougeoisie in power, and that was the expression of the struggle against this power, was introduced into Germany at a time when the bourgeoisie, in that country, had just begun its contest with feudal absolutism."(Marx)

 So these revolutions, and political unrest in France starts to spread and affect all of Europe.  There was already unrest but France being pushed over the edge starts to push other civilians towards this point.  Eventually causing literature to be written in England.  There isn't revolution in all the other countries but there is notice to the problems mentioned before that would have to be addressed.
