1848 was a year of change and revolution, and the history of the world was turned upside down. In February of that year, the February Revolution broke out in France, overthrowing the Bourbon dynasty and establishing the Second French Republic. The revolution quickly spread to the rest of Europe, burning like wildfire, igniting the flames of revolution on the continent.
In Germany, the March Revolution broke out, and people poured into the streets to demand national unity and democratic politics. At the same time, an uprising broke out in Sicily, Italy, against the rule of the Kingdom of Naples. These revolutions and uprisings plunged the countries of Europe into turmoil.
Not only that, but it was also the year of the discovery of gold in California, USA, and gold prospectors from all over the world flocked to this rich land. With the rise of the California Gold Rush, the development of the western United States entered a whole new phase. Countless adventurers, gold diggers, entrepreneurs, and dreamers have embarked on the journey to the West, chasing riches and dreams.
The year 1848 also witnessed the rapid development of science and technology. In this year, the world's first programmable computer was born. Designed by British mathematician Charles Barbech, this machine was not as ubiquitous as modern computers, but it heralded the dawn of the computer age.
