the "Glorious Revolution" in 1688 in England was significant for what?
406400
The term Glorious Revolution refers to the generally popular overthrow of James II of England in 1688 by a conspiracy between some Parliamentarians and the Dutch stadtholder William III of Orange-Nassau. The revolution was the last successful invasion of England. It is sometimes referred to as the Bloodless Revolution but this name is a misnomer as there was much fighting with loss of life in Ireland and, to a lesser degree, in Scotland. Some modern historians, alternatively, prefer the more neutral Revolution of 1688.\n\nLegacy:\nThe Glorious Revolution was one of the most important events in the long evolution of powers possessed by Parliament and by the Crown in England. With the passage of the Bill of Rights, it stamped out any final possibility of a Catholic monarchy, and ended moves towards monarchical absolutism in the British Isles by circumscribing the monarch's powers. The King's powers were greatly restricted; he could no longer suspend laws, levy taxes, or maintain a standing army during peacetime without Parliament's permission. Since 1689, England, and later the United Kingdom, has been governed under a system of constitutional monarchy, which has been uninterrupted. Since then, Parliament has gained more and more power, and the Crown has progressively lost it.\n\nThe success of the revolution came three years after the failure of the Monmouth Rebellion to overthrow the king.\n\nThe Williamite victory in Ireland is still commemorated by the Orange Order for preserving British and Protestant dominance in the country.\n\nFor more see:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorious_Revolution\n\nPS \n(For the other ansewer(s) )\nThere was bloodshed.\n\nSee \n"It is sometimes referred to as the Bloodless Revolution but this name is a misnomer as there was much fighting with loss of life in Ireland and, to a lesser degree, in Scotland."

Indeed, the mexican independence from Spain in 1820 got some inspiration upon french revolution. In 1821 got consummated. But practically speaking, semi or even fully slavery conditions continued in rural communities until the Mexican revolution took place (1910).

The American Revolution Began \nApril 19, 1775 \nHave you heard Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Paul Revere's Ride"?\nOne if by land, two if by sea;\nAnd I on the opposite shore will be,\nReady to ride and spread the alarm\nThrough every Middlesex, village and farm,\nFor the country folk to be up and to arm.\n\nAfter looking for the signal (one lantern if the regulars - the term used for invading British soldiers - were coming by land, or two if they were coming by sea) in the Christ Church steeple, Paul Revere and other Americans rode through the dark of the night on the eve of April 19,1775, to warn the country folk of the danger to come.

Throughout the ages there have been events that have shaped the world that we now know. Events such as the Agricultural Revolution, the Reformation, the Renaissance and the French and American revolutions have all played a part each in their own little way in moulding the society we now live in. However no event has had as far reaching consequences for future generations as the Industrial Revolution.\n\nThe topic for discussion in this essay is “The Industrial Revolution was the most significant event in the making of the modern world”. The term “modern world” refers to world we live in today including its politics, social class structure, economies, environment and technologies among many other things.  This essay will outline the impact the Industrial Revolution had on creating the “modern world” and will therefore prove that the “The Industrial Revolution was the most significant event in the making of the modern world.”\n\nThe pre-industrial economy in England was very different to the post-industrial. The English economy was “dominated by fairly primitive agriculture and construction”1 as were most. Peter Mathias (1969) also refers to the fact that “technology in agriculture, industry or transport remained subjected to the interruptions of nature”2. There was an attempt to integrate technology into agriculture but however “frost, flood, gale, or calm the wheels did not turn”3. This led to an inefficient system and low productivity rates and therefore “not much shipping put out of port between October and March”4. The weather also meant that there was “not much work available on the land in bad weather in some of the winter months”5 and “building activity declined in the winter”6.\n\nThis all changed with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The exact timeframe of the Industrial Revolution is not known but T.S. Ashton, a historian, author, and former professor of economic history at University of London7 held the term “Industrial Revolution” refers to the period between 1760-18308.  The term “Industrial Revolution” was however not coined until the second half of the 19th century by Friedrich Engels and Louis-Auguste Blanqui9. \n\nThe exact catalyst for the beginning of the Industrial Revolution is contentious and a topic of great debate. The Industrial Revolution was a result of  “many fundamental, interrelated changes that transformed agricultural economies into industrial ones” mainly the nature of production10. It was a period during which England gradually moved from muscle and water power to more efficient mechanised power i.e. steam powered engines.\n\nHowever, the long lasting effects of the Industrial Revolution aren’t just isolated to the industry as its name suggests. The Industrial Revolution also had socioeconomic, cultural and environmental impacts which helped form the world we live in. In fact the Industrial Revolution is considered to be so important in forming the modern world that it is comparable to the Agricultural Revolution in the Fertile Crescent in around 3000 B.C.E11.\n\nSocioeconomic impacts of the Industrial Revolution were far reaching from population growth to social class structure from social control to working and living conditions.  \n\n- That's part of an essay I did for uni That's the industrial revolution. Sorry if it has nbothing to do with the question. I hope it gives a backgound. I was just trying to help. :)
