REVOLUTIONS OF 1848-49 IN EUROPE The Manifesto of the Communist Party appeared at the moment when a revolutionary situation was arising and the working class entered the arena of political struggle . For many European countries the revolution had a common aim - destruction of the feudal and absolutist systems which impeded the development of capitalism . At the same time the revolutionary movement of 1848-49 pursued its own aims in each individual country . In France , where feudalism and absolutism had been done away with in the revolution of 1789-94 , the objective aim of the revolution of 1848-49 was to overthrow the domination of the financial aristocracy and to establish the domination of the bourgeois class as a whole . In Germany and Italy the main object of the revo lution of 1848-49 was to overcome the disunion in these countries and to form national states . Italy was additionally faced with the problem of liberating the north of the country from Austrian oppression . In Austria the aim of the revo lution of 1848-49 was to abolish the Hapsburg monarchy and to free the oppressed peoples from national enslavement . In France the problems of political power , democratic liberties and abolition of feudal survivals remained unsolved .
