The creation of effective armies by liberal or democratic forces to preserve their gains did not fit into the pattern of the revolution of 1848 in Germany. While there were widespread popular disturbances that frightened the ruling princes and the princes made liberal concessions such as establishing parliaments and granting constitutions, these gains were ultimately reversed when the original ruling princes used their armed forces to crush the revolutions. However, there is no evidence to suggest that liberal or democratic forces were able to successfully create effective armies to defend their gains.
