66.2 French Revolution of July 1830, and Greek War of Independence

King Charles X of France is overthrown and replaced by his cousin Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans.

Meanwhile a 10 month long insurrection in Poland is crushed by the Russians. In the retribution which followed, eighty-thousand Poles are dragged off in chains to Siberia.

The year 1830 also witnessed the formal independence of Greece from the Ottoman Empire after a war which had begun nine years before.

And the Industrial Revolution gathers steam across western Europe
