The Age of Revolution refers to a period in the late 18th and early 19th centuries marked by significant political and social upheaval. Key events include the American Revolution (1775-1783), which established the United States as an independent nation, and the French Revolution (1789-1799), which challenged monarchy and inspired democratic ideals across Europe. This era also saw the rise of revolutionary movements in Latin America, leading to independence from European colonial powers. The Age of Revolution laid the groundwork for modern political thought, emphasizing concepts like liberty, equality, and fraternity, which continue to influence societies today.
