1960 – The Quiet Revolution. This was a period in Quebec’s history where the French people were looking for change in their government. They had been ruled by the British and changed their government by election. The French people ran for office and won! They immediately started to change everything to French which upset the English speaking people in Quebec. This begins the bilingual movement.
