I'm sure this whole article comes as a shock to nobody, but it's nice to see it recognised like this.

Forgive my ignorance, but which event of the 17th century would you classify as a burgeois revolution? Late 18th century of course, even many during the 19th century, but i just can't remember any such event from the 1600s

The first one, the English Revolution from around the 1640s to the 1660s?

That's an edge case, but if you'd count those parliamentary nobles as burgoise then that's fair. Thanks

It’s not an edge case, it was arguably the first bourgeois revolution, and without it we wouldn’t have the Dutch, French and yes, American revolutions. I don’t like linking to Wikipedia, but the article is not terrible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeois_revolution
