The French Revolution of 1830 (July Revolution) was a popular rebellion that succeeded in overthrowing the rule of King Charles X and his ministers. The revolt was prompted by the government's rejection of legitimate election results and its suspension of the constitution. Armed crowds in Paris and other cities throughout France took to the streets to oppose the king and to support the elected representatives of the parliamentary opposition. Three decisive days of fighting, July 27–9, gave the insurrection its other names: la Révolution de Juillet and les trots glorieuses . Revolutionary leaders moved quickly to force the king's family into exile and to crown one of his distant cousins, Louis‐Philippe, the Duc d'Orléans. The new regime, called the July Monarchy (or sometimes the Orléans Monarchy), would last until the February Revolution of 1848 created the Second Republic.
