The 1948 Communist Revolutions, e.g. in China, occurred on the 100th anniversary, of the famous 1848 Communist Revolutions, when Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, in an attempt to conquer Europe:
Would the 1948 Revolutions represent some sort of "tribute to Karl Marx", and direct reference to the earlier revolutions, and their attempt to conquer Europe, i.e. "western" countries & culture ?
The European Revolutions of 1848, known in some countries as the Spring of Nations, Springtime of the Peoples or the Year of Revolution, were a series of political upheavals throughout Europe in 1848... the most widespread revolutionary wave in European history... within a year, reactionary forces had regained control, and the revolutions collapsed.
The revolutionary wave began in France in February, and immediately spread to most of Europe and parts of Latin America. Over 50 countries were affected...
Five factors were involved: widespread dissatisfaction with political leadership; demands for more participation in government and democracy; the demands of the working classes; the upsurge of nationalism; and finally, the regrouping of the reactionary forces based on the royalty, the aristocracy, the army, and the peasants.
The uprisings were led by shaky ad hoc coalitions of reformers, the middle classes and workers
