  2. Types of Revolutions • Revolutions take different forms in different communities. A revolution could involve a major cultural change (like the Renaissance) in art and design or a political change (like the French Revolution) that sweeps away old institutions. A revolution can be peaceful or violent. What defines a revolution is a significant change in the rules of a society.

  3. Historical Revolutions • Militant, Violent Revolution • The type of revolution most familiar to people is violent revolutions. In such instances, a group of people rises up and violently takes over control of an area, a city or a country. The existing government gets overthrown, and the leadership either leaves the area or gets arrested or killed in the process. The most famous violent revolutions in the 20th century include the Communist Revolution in Russia and the Chinese Revolution. Many such instances involve civil war, resulting in a significant number of citizens being killed as well.

  4. Historical Revolutions Continued • Religious Revolution • A religious revolution can result in a significant amount of upheaval. A religious revolution is focused on a spiritual position or reform. Those who start religious revolutions use it to further their more material goals, but the underlying motivation for changes always comes back to religion. The Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 is an example of a religious revolution. Iran became a theocracy • **Remember the Protestant Reformation which was a Religious Revolution!

  5. Historical Revolutions Continued Political Revolution A political revolution does not need to involve violence. In modern times, many political revolutions have actually used peaceful means to make changes. Both Mahatma Gandhi in India and the American Tea Party have used communication, protest and numbers to push for change in existing political systems. Although such changes are not always permanent, they do result in fundamental changes in how people behave. Gandhi led India's drive to become a free, independent state in the late 1940s. Gandhi’s was a non-violent protest.

  6. Historical Revolutions Continued Industrial Revolution An industrial revolution follows the same pattern as other revolutions; it makes a fundamental change that affects how everybody does business. Several industrial revolutions have occurred in the 19th and 20 centuries, changing how businesses operate, produce and deliver goods and services. Famous examples of industrial revolutions include the invention and mass use of combustion vehicles, computers, recyclable energy and airplanes.
