Changes

The barricade began its [[diffusion]] outside France in the 1780s and played a significant role in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Revolution Belgian Revolution] of 1830, but it was only in the course of the upheaval of 1848 that it became truly international in scope. Its spread across the Continent was aided by the circulation of [[students]], political refugees, and itinerant workers through the French capital, where many gained first-hand experience of one or another Parisian insurrection. The barricade had, by the middle of the nineteenth century, become the preeminent [[symbol]] of a revolutionary [[tradition]] that would ultimately spread worldwide. Barricade references appear in many colloquial [[expressions]] and are used, often metaphorically, in [[poems]] and [[songs]] celebrating [[radical]] [[social movement]]s.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barricade]
