Belongs here: an event primarily dated 1789 to 1848. Does not belong here: an event dated after 1848, grouped under The Age of Capital, The Age of Empire or The Age of Extremes by its own date.FactsAll The Age of RevolutionSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonStart YearWell-attested1789 CE 1End YearWell-attested1848 CE 1All The Age of RevolutionFilter Results20 entriesEraAllThe Early Modern Period (1)The Late Modern Period (19)The Napoleonic Era (1)ParticipantsAllArthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1)John Bright (1)Jose de San Martin (1)Lin Zexu (1)Louis XVI (1)Napoleon Bonaparte (1)Richard Cobden (1)Robert Peel (1)Simon Bolivar (1)LocationAllBritain, spreading to continental Europe and North America (1)Eastern Cape, South Africa (1)France (1)Global (primarily Europe) (1)Ireland (1)Mexico (1)New Zealand (1)Ottoman Greece, present-day Greece (1)Quinua, Huamanga, Peru (1)Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) (1)The Houses of Parliament, London, United Kingdom (1)Vienna (1)Western Pennsylvania (1)Event Era (Year)All1760 (1)1779 (1)1789 (1)1791 (2)1803 (1)1805 (1)1806 (1)1808 (1)1810 (1)1814 (1)1821 (1)1824 (1)1838 (1)1839 (1)1845 (1)1846 (1)1848 (1)Event TypeAllMilitary Conflict (14)Natural Disaster (2)Political Event (2)Scientific or Technological Event (1)Social Movement (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 20Battle of AyacuchoThe Age of RevolutionCongress of ViennaThe Age of RevolutionFirst Serbian UprisingThe Age of RevolutionGreat Famine (Ireland)The Age of RevolutionGreek War of IndependenceThe Age of RevolutionHaitian RevolutionThe Age of RevolutionJune Days uprisingThe Age of RevolutionMexican War of IndependenceThe Age of RevolutionMusket WarsThe Age of RevolutionOpium WarsThe Age of RevolutionRebellions of 1837-1838The Age of RevolutionRepeal of the Corn LawsThe Age of RevolutionSpanish American wars of independenceThe Age of RevolutionThe French RevolutionThe Age of RevolutionThe Industrial RevolutionThe Age of RevolutionThe Napoleonic WarsThe Age of RevolutionTrail of TearsThe Age of RevolutionWar of the Third CoalitionThe Age of RevolutionWhiskey RebellionThe Age of RevolutionXhosa WarsThe Age of RevolutionSources1.
