Another factor contributing to the failure of the 1848 revolutions was the lack of organization between revolutionary groups. Although revolts were widespread throughout Europe, little or even no organization or cooperation whatsoever existed between revolutionary groups of various countries or even regions of a country. This is pretty much due to the different aims and goals among revolutionary groups of various kind: Those in France were divided in the form of governments and their philosophies as Monarchists, Bonapartes, Republicans, Socialists. Red republicans – radicals said that they would support hopers of the urban masses. Unfortunately they weren’t united. Their leaders hated each other. Most of them wished to establish a republic based on universal manhood suffrage. In France there was also the second group – moderators, who were opposed radicals. They wished only to establish constitutional parliamentary government, tended to have little sympathy for poor, and would like everyone to have right to vote. In Austria, revolutionaries were divided amongst different ethnic groups. With the divided revolutionary groups and no cooperation between them, these people were unable to combine their strength to fight against the reactionary forces and were exterminated one by one. Furthermore, as in France, the revolutionaries were also divided into two groups. There were the moderates and the radicals. Moderates regarded working class as a political danger
Adding to the revolutionaries' inexperience was the failure to establish popular support for their action. As the goals of the revolutionaries for the various groups were similarly idealistic such as to seek for liberal and representative government, establishing ethnic administration against the foreign absolute rule and so forth are too complex to be understood, not to mention support and pursue, by the majority of the society consisted of peasants, workers and other people who have limited wealth and literacy. They had "little interest in liberal principles, and were largely concerned with their immediate social and economic benefits."[5] To them, the demands of the liberals and nationalists were too far away and never practical at all while their goals were as simple as having enough food for the family, or possess their own land to farm. On the other hand, the middle class had the fear of the "threat to their property" as a result of some of the socialist revolutionaries' demands.[6] Also, as most of the revolutions rose in the urban areas, participation of the large rural population, if any, were limited.
Another contribution towards the failure of the 1848 revolutions was perhaps the absence of any strong foreign back up by countries that possess enough strength to confront the absolute powers.
