Abstract
The absence of international wars in the period 1815–48 was compensated for, and partly explained by, the high level of domestic disturbances. There were almost decennial spasms of revolution culminating in the general European outbreak in 1845. Since then there have been very few instances of spontaneous revolutions in Europe.
