Societies around the world are constantly changing. These changes reflect the concerns and interests of the people who live there. For the most part, these changes are gradual, and over time, societies slowly change various aspects of their identity. In some situations, societies experienced a significant change in a short space of time that can lead to long-lasting effects. This major change is sometimes known as a revolution.

Revolutions take place when people decide to change something about society when they want to see a complete change and move in a new direction. Sometimes this takes the form of a revolution to overthrow the existing government and political system.

Revolutions should not be confused with rebellions. Rebellions are acts of resistance or violence to show dissatisfaction with a particular issue. They are usually directed against whoever has power in society at the time. Often, rebellions are put down but sometimes they can bring about changes in society. Examples of famous rebellions include the Peasants Revolt in England during the fourteenth century and the Taiping Rebellion in China during the nineteenth century.

Revolutions usually occur over a relatively short space of time, and in that time, major changes take place. However, there are some revolutions such as the industrial revolutions, that span decades.

Revolutions can be peaceful but they can also be violent. Many political revolutions have been peaceful such as the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1989, while others have involved significant bloodshed, such as the Romanian Revolution of the same year.
