What was the significance of Germany’s participation in the 1848 revolution for the process of modernizing Germany?

In 1848, a revolution began in Germany as well as in many European states. It did not meet the expectations of the strikers, but nevertheless led to a new stage of development. The revolution was suppressed by government forces in 1849. But the state did not begin to carry out reactionary reforms, because the country clearly needed reforms. A number of countries have introduced constitutions. In Germany, after the revolution, modernization began. The country’s economy was moving from agricultural to industrial. The monarchy was limited by parliament.
