A '''Revolution''' refers to any social, economic, or political upheval and change. Revolutions may be violent ([[French Revolution]]), or peaceful ([[Glorious Revolution]]). Revolutions sometimes consist of independence movements ([[American Revolution]]), and at other times civil wars ([[Russian Revolution]]).
