From France, the revolutions spread to all over Europe and even parts of South America. Over 50 countries were affected by the revolutions, even though there was little coordination between the revolutionaries. The revolutions were led by a coalition of reformers, the middle class and workers. But most of these revolutions were suppressed and thousands of people were killed.
