Question

Why was the 1848 revolt in Prussia successful only in the short term?

The country was under foreign rule again a year later.
The overthrown king was back in power a year later.
The public rebelled against changes a year later.
The new elected assembly was dissolved a year later.

Answer 1

The new elected assembly was dissolved a year later.

Explanation: In Prussia the March 1848 uprising forced the king to promise reforms and allow a national (elected) assembly, but within a year the monarch reasserted power, dissolved that assembly and imposed a more conservative constitution. That rollback ended the revolution’s gains.
