"Every revolution was first a thought in one
man's mind."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Age of Revolution
This period of history is marked by great movements that
lead to massive changes in
Europe
,
North and
South America. Revolutions erupted on
all three continents. Empires were disrupted, governments were overthrown,
new governments were created, dictators rose and fell, wars were fought
and new social structures were created and the world was never the same!
"A revolution
(from
Late Latinrevolutio
which means "a turn around") is a significant
change that usually
occurs in a relatively short period of time. Variously defined revolutions
have been happening throughout
human history. They vary
in terms of numbers of their participants (revolutionaries),
means employed by them, duration, motivating
ideology and many other
aspects. They may result in a
socio-political
change in the
socio-political
institutions, or a major change in a
culture or
economy.
