Major Revolutions - HTML
Major revolutions were historical events that shaped the foundational principles of modern society, including democracy, human rights, and national self-determination. The American Revolution (1775-1783) established the world's first large-scale republic, the French Revolution (1789-1799) spread the ideals of 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity' and the Declaration of Human Rights, and the Russian Revolution (1917) brought about the birth of the world's first socialist state. These revolutions influenced each other and represented crucial turning points that significantly changed the course of world history.
