A Quiet Revolution

The Quiet Revolution was a period of significant social, political, and cultural change in Quebec, Canada, during the 1960s. It involved modernization efforts, including improving education, expanding healthcare, and reducing the influence of the Catholic Church. These reforms increased Quebecers' sense of identity and autonomy, fostering a more secular and progressive society. The movement was called "quiet" because it happened largely through peaceful policy changes rather than protests or violence. Overall, it transformed Quebec into a more independent and modern region, shaping its society and politics for decades to come.
