Beginning in the 1750s and lasting into the early 20th Century (1914 CE), an Age of Revolution swept through the Atlantic World (Europe, North, Central & South America). The goal of every revolution is governmental change, but not every revolution succeeds in creating change that is lasting, or that makes life better for everyone in society. Revolutions impact societies beyond just the systems that govern them. More importantly, why did people want to completely change the ways in which their communities were governed? In other words, what caused these revolutions? In Milestone 2, you will select or be assigned one Atlantic Revolution that occurred between 1750s and 1914 CE. You will conduct basic research to describe the revolution and identify what contributed to it (causes) and conclude with the revolution’s impacts and historical significance.
