The year 1848 saw revolutions throughout much of Europe (and a Chartist demonstration in the UK). Name the battle which was Ireland's only contribution to the unrest.

The Young Irelander Rebellion ?

Some of the English rioters in Trafalgar Square were transported to Australia. The third Chartist petition had failed to pass Parliament in 1848, and was effectively the end of the movement.

Owen: “You’re one of the upholders of the present system – you help to perpetuate it!”
“Ow do I help to perpetuate it?” demanded Easton.
Owen: “By not trying to find out how to end it – by not helping those who are trying to bring a better state of things into existence. Even if you are indifferent to your own fate – as you seem to be – you have no right to be indifferent to that of the child for whose existence in this world you are responsible. Every man who is not helping to bring about a better state of affairs for the future is helping to perpetuate the present misery, and is therefore the enemy of his own children. There is no such thing as being neutral: we must either help or hinder.”
