>>21463431There is no one "real" cause in political affairs this complex (and "peasants" doesn't mean non-nobles in this context - peasants are low-status farmers who wouldn't rule either way). But it is true that democratic ideas and human rights were mostly promoted by the bourgeoisie and university students while many low-class Germans weren't too interested or even hostile to it.
Parliaments were often seen as less legitimate than (absolute) monarchs, and many francophobe Germans rejected democracy, constitutions and human rights as a product of the French Revolution. The current elites afraid of losing their status pushed for retaining the status quo as well, of course - so when the monarchs of Germany saw the revolution losing steam and started deploying their armies against their own people more aggressively, they found success.
>>21464013>>21464591Considering Prussia taking over Germany from 1866 to 1871 ultimately led to Willy II and the Bohemian private losing two World Wars like idiots, it probably would've been better to stick with Austria as the foremost German state. Even Prussia might easily have been better off long-term, looking at how it doesn't exist anymore.
