The event which most historians of science call the scientific revolution can be dated roughly as having begun in 1543, the year in which Nicolaus Copernicus published his De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) and Andreas Vesalius published his De humani corporis fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human body), although several 'failed revolutions' had previously occurred[1] [2]. As with many historical demarcations, historians of science disagree about its boundaries, some seeing elements contributing to the revolution as early as the 14th century and finding its last stages in chemistry and biology in the 18th and 19th centuries.[3] There is general agreement, however, that the intervening period saw a fundamental transformation in scientific ideas in physics, astronomy and biology, in institutions supporting scientific investigation, and in the more widely held picture of the …show more content…
After the war, the social order and forms of government were mostly intact, and the main challenge facing the former colonies was how to unite from 13 little nations into one big nation. Connecticut, which elected its colonial governors, even had the same person as governor before, during, and after the war.
In contrast, the French Revolution was a total upheaval of society that overthrew the system of government, the upper classes, and the grip of the Catholic church, and instituted a radically new society based on Enlightenment ideas. The result of this was civil war and bloody conflict between the revolutionaries and those who rejected the new ideology.
