With a PoD of after 1848 is it possible for the aristocracy of Europe to halt & then roll back to some degree the extention of liberty and all that follows to the general population of Europe? the object being to preserve their power in law and control of the economy and populations? Preserving all this far into the 20th Century?
I am thinking of some sort of new idea of aristocratic superiority becoming stronger and pushing out the ideals of the Enlightenment that penetrated into much of the hereditary upper class of Europe. Has such a idea become strong enough was it still possible & practical for the aristocracy to regain their earlier levels of power?
