d. while the revolutions were relatively nonviolent, they were still able to free most colonies from european domination

Explanation:

The Revolutions of 1848 were a series of political upheavals across Europe. They were largely suppressed, so new governments were not firmly established. However, they spread ideas like liberalism and nationalism which inspired later movements. Option A is incorrect as current European borders were not mainly set by these revolutions. Option C is wrong because Napoleon's empire was already defeated long before 1848. Option D is incorrect as these revolutions were not about freeing colonies from European domination.

Answer:

B. Though the revolutions failed to establish new governments, they helped spread ideas that inspired later revolutions.
