Prussia was angry over Germany’s unification that year.
Conservatives were angry that Christianity wasn't the dominant religion across Europe.
Conservatives were angry at their land being taken.

Answer 1

Prussia was angry over Germany’s unification that year.

The statement "Prussia was angry over Germany’s unification that year" was NOT a cause of Europe's series of revolutions in 1848 because Germany did not unify until 1871. In 1848, the German states were indeed striving for unification, but they were frustrated by the lack of political unity, not angry over a unification that had occurred. The revolutions in the German states in 1848 were part of the broader wave of liberal and nationalist revolutions across Europe. They were characterized by demands for liberal constitutions, national unification, and democratic governments, not by anger over an event (German unification) that had not yet taken place.
