The Stimulus of a Revolution

Every revolution is different though, and so I believe it will be profitable to go through the specifics of each revolution we covered in the series. The English Revolution was preceded three years earlier by the first of our system shocks. Charles launching the Bishop's War in 1639 is almost the platonic ideal of the great idiot move. It provoked hardened resistance on multiple fronts simultaneously. And these shocks are not a quick thing that happened just before the trigger lights everything up.
