Karl Marx analyzes the 1851 French coup d'état by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, employing historical materialism to explain the rise of the Second Empire. The work explores how class tensions and political dynamics allow mediocre figures to seize power during social crises. It famously observes that history repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce.
