The Quiet Revolution was a period of significant social and political change in the province of Quebec, Canada, during the 1960s. It marked a shift from traditional, conservative values to a more modern, secular society. The government, led by Jean Lesage, focused on reforming education, healthcare, and the economy, promoting the idea of a strong provincial identity. This movement aimed to reduce the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in public life and increase the role of the state in various sectors. The Quiet Revolution laid the groundwork for the rise of Quebec nationalism and discussions about the province's autonomy within Canada.
