The situation that led to the establishment of a French republic in 1848 was primarily that citizens were dissatisfied with the class system in France under the monarchy. This dissatisfaction was fueled by social inequalities, economic hardship, and a desire for more democratic reforms. The February Revolution of 1848 resulted in the abdication of King Louis-Philippe and the establishment of the Second French Republic.
