Abstract
A revolution is a profound turning point in history. It might refer to a period of radical colonial, social or political upheaval that normally occurs over a relatively short period of time. There are other types of revolution such as scientific and industrial that take place over decades, even centuries.
The United Kingdom may only be a small island nation, but we have nurtured some highly imaginative and ingenious citizens responsible for some exceptional global firsts, leading to seismic shifts in our understanding of the world and how we have exploited it. In particular, the Industrial Revolution changed Britain and the rest of the world for ever. It confirmed Great Britain as a global superpower.
