The cause of the 1830 July Revolution in France was rooted in widespread discontent towards King Charles X's reactionary policies, which sought to restore the absolute monarchy and curtail civil liberties. His government's attempt to impose the July Ordinances, which dissolved the Chamber of Deputies, restricted the freedom of the press, and reduced the electorate, sparked outrage among the middle and working classes. The resulting insurrection led to barricades rising in Paris and, ultimately, the overthrow of Charles X. The revolution concluded with the establishment of a constitutional monarchy under Louis-Philippe, marking a significant shift towards more liberal governance in France.
