RE REVOLUTIONS AND THE DECLINE OF THE WEST

As Palmer remarked, in passing, the 18th Century saw the revolution of the Western world, the 20th the revolution of the non Western.

I would say that it was only the revolution in the West from, 1763 to 1800, which he discusses, that made the revolution of the non West against the West in the 20th Century possible. 

i might add that this revolution of the non West against the West is ongoing now into the 21st Century.

Americans do not see it as a revolution of this kind, but it is.
