Shortly after the 1830 Revolution in France, French writer Victor Hugo wrote that he yet again heard "the dull sound of revolution, still deep down in the earth, pushing out under every kingdom in Europe." The center of this underground activity was in Paris, and in 1848 that "subterranean" sound that Hugo heard exploded above ground in France and then in nearly every part of Europe.
