    anti-monarchist insurrection led by the Republicans to reverse the 1830

    "July Monarchy" of Louis-Philippe. Though the July Monarchy had over


    ten time as many troops as the Republicans, both sides lost comparable
    casualties before the rebellion was thwarted. It was a particularly
    terrible time of turmoil and suffering in France, with widespread food
    shortages, poverty, and a cholera epidemic that killed over 100,000.

    Hugo was writing a play in the Tuileries


    Gardens when he heard the gunshots that started the Rebellion. He was
    surrounded by barricades with bullets flying, inspiration for what
    became his legacy. Thirty years later, he published the epic novel, Les
    Misérables, that would forever chronicle these significant events in
    France's history.
