Quiet Revolution

The Quiet Revolution was a period in the 1960s in Quebec, Canada, marked by significant social, political, and cultural change. It involved reducing traditional church influence, modernizing government and education, and promoting French identity and rights. This movement fostered a sense of pride and independence among Quebecers, shaping the province’s evolution toward greater self-determination. It was called "quiet" because these changes happened largely through peaceful, internal shifts rather than confrontations. Overall, it transformed Quebec into a more modern, secular, and self-aware society while strengthening its uniquely French-speaking culture.
