Revolution is not a term that historians take lightly. For something to be recognized as a revolution, it has to be truly…revolutionary. Many of the greatest revolutions weren't armed conflicts, but technological advancements, but few of these were as significant as the Printing Revolution of the 15th-century CE.
With the development of the movable type printing press, books could be produced much more quickly, efficiently, and cheaply. More people could afford to buy books, so more books were made. This was a big change from the hand-copied tomes of the medieval era, and it had substantial impacts on language. In fact, most historians agree that printing presses played a fundamental role in standardizing languages across Europe. Of course, the weirder the language, the weirder the history. That's where English comes in.
