Question

Define The age of revolutions, and explain why you think they are importance in world history

Answer 1

The age of revolution is defined as the period between the late 18th century to mid 19th century when several important revolutionary movements such as the American Revolution, the industrial revolution, and others took place in most parts of the world including America and Europe. I think this period is the most important period of the world since it contributed to the change from an absolutist monarchy type of government that was full of slavery to a representative government with a written Constitution that protects human rights and freedoms. moreover, during the age of revolution influenced by the American Revolution, is the time nation's states were created which allow particular countries freedom to exercise their power. Furthermore, the age of revolution results in the improvement of the economy as people interact freely as they exchange and learn new ideas on how best to carry out trades and other economic activities, eliminate cultural activities that act as a barrier to economic growth, educate the poor and marginalized population on modern trade and investment to improve their living standards among others.
