Revolution refers to a fundamental and often rapid change in political, social, or economic structures. It typically involves the overthrow or significant alteration of a governing system or societal norms, often initiated by a large group of people seeking to bring about change. Revolutions can be characterized by widespread social mobilization, the use of force or violent conflict, and the establishment of new authorities or ideologies. Although the term is often associated with major historical events such as the American Revolution or the French Revolution, it can apply to any significant shift or upheaval in the existing order, including technological, cultural, or agricultural changes. Revolutions can lead to the emergence of new political regimes or systems of governance, altered societal values, and redefined cultural identities.
