The West and the World since 1500

The sources of the article are about the first revolution that graced the European nation in the year 1688-89. It took place in England. The 1688-89 revolution sparked revolutions in another part of the world including the France revolution of 1789 a decade after England Revolution. As discussed the revolution brought the tolerance of the of the religion and enhanced great industrial revolution that brought enormous growth of the England economy. Although the 1688-89 revolution is regarded as the first revolution in the world but up to date, there is little scholarly material to be used in the classroom. The only person to have written about the first revolution is Edmund Burke, who categorically stated that the 1688-89 bore no resemblance to the revolution that took place in France in 1789. Therefore, there is little material for students and other academicians who will like to debate and prove that the England revolution should by any chance considered as the modern revolution.

Even though the material is limited, but students can at least have some understanding of what led to the England revolution and the impact it had on the society. The manuscript available make students have a depth not only on the political impact the revolution brought but also the impact it had on the economy and social policy. The first material on the England Revolution was written basing on the eyewitness account, policy memoranda sermons, legal material and the collection of work of John Locke and Roger L’Estrajge. This is the only available information that help the students understand the England revolution. It helps to argue their case on either to consider the English revolution as the first an ideal revolution or not.
