The Agricultural Revolution brought farming in Britain into the modern age with improved methods of breeding, growing and new farm machinery. The French Revolution affected most of Europe and the American Revolution saw the birth of a new nation. Some people rose and became heroes, men like Nelson, Wellington, Wolfe and Clive of India.

Turner changed forever how artists painted and Dr Johnson produced a dictionary of the English language.
