48/49 - Revolution in Baden
The Baden Revolution of 1848/49 was part of the broader German democratic and nationalist uprisings, in which republicans like Gustav Struve and Friedrich Hecker sought to overthrow the Grand Duchy's monarchy and establish a German republic. The revolt was crushed in mid-1849 by Prussian troops, with many rebels executed at Rastatt or forced to flee into exile, notably to Switzerland and America.
