The revolutionary period lasted from November 1918 until the formal establishment of the Weimar Republic in August 1919.

Italian Revolution The 1848 revolutions in the Italian states were organized revolts in the states of Italy led by intellectuals and agitators who desired a liberal government.

After witnessing the liberal friendly events that were occurring in Rome, the people of other states started to demand similar treatment. The revolution in Italy was very much inspired by nationalism and by a great leader named Giuseppe Mazzini. He was one of the first nationalists in Italy and inspired latter events in the revolution of Italy through his ideals, beliefs, and work.
