What economic and political factors led most directly to revolution in France i 1848?

The 1848 revolution in France was primarily driven by economic hardship and political discontent. Widespread unemployment and poor harvests led to food shortages, exacerbating the suffering of the working class. Politically, there was growing frustration with the authoritarian regime of King Louis-Philippe, who failed to address social inequalities and the demands for democratic reforms. The combination of these economic woes and the desire for political change galvanized popular uprisings, ultimately leading to the February Revolution.
