To better understand the debate below, it will be enough to group the main events that served as a starting point for them. The cowardice of the German bourgeoisie allowed the feudal-bureaucratic-absolutist reaction to recover so much from the stunning blows received in March 1848 that a second decisive battle was already inevitable at the end of October. The fall of Vienna after a long heroic resistance inspired the Prussian camarilla courage to carry out a coup. The submissive Berlin "National Assembly" was still too exuberant for her. It had to be dispersed, the revolution had to be ended.
