View source for Age of Revolution

The '''Age of Revolution''' is a general time period when revolutions swept the world to overthrow kings (monarchies) and establish constitutional forms of government.  Some historians, focusing on the major revolutions that overthrew monarchies, consider the late 1700s to be the Age of Revolution, including the [[American Revolutionary War|American]] (1776-1783) and [[French Revolution]]s (1789) and its subsequent [[Reign of Terror]] (1793–94).  Other historians, seeing continued occurrence of revolutions worldwide after 1800, describe the period as being from 1776 to 1848.
