Explanation

The July Revolution (Trois Glorieuses - 'Three Glorious Days') took place in France on July 27-29, 1830, overthrowing King Charles X and establishing the July Monarchy under Louis-Philippe I. It was triggered by conservative royalist policies and resulted in a more liberal constitutional monarchy. 1815 is the end of Napoleon (Hundred Days), 1826 is during the Restoration but uneventful, and 1842 is during the July Monarchy but not revolutionary.
