On the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789, Louis-Philippe joined the group of progressive nobles who supported the Revolutionary government. In 1830, a rebellion formed around Charles X, which gave Louis-Philippe his long-awaited opportunity to gain power, and on August 9 he accepted the crown. Faced with his own middle-class insurrection, Louis-Philippe abdicated on February 24, 1848.
