La locution Révolution tranquille désigne une période importante de l'histoire du Québec moderne. Chez tous les auteurs, historiens, sociologues et politicologues qui ont écrit sur la Révolution tranquille, le maître-mot pour la décrire est modernisation. Ses débuts peuvent remonter en 1949 lors de la grève de l'amiante, mais elle prend sûrement son envol dans les années 1960. Cette appellation est la francisation de l'expression Quiet revolution dont l'auteur est un journaliste du Globe and Mail, un quotidien torontois, dans les années 1960, bien qu'aucune des sources consultées ne donne de datation officielle pour la naissance de l'expression. C'est d'ailleurs une des caractéristiques des mythes de fondation de laisser dans le flou les circonstances de leur genèse.

Тихая революция (, ) — цепь политических и социально-экономических событий в Канаде 1960—1970х гг, заставившая канадцев и мировую общественность по-новому взглянуть на этническую картину канадского государства и в первую очередь пересмотреть отношения между главными его составляющими: англоканадцами и франкоканадской общиной. Важные трансформации затронули в первую очередь все стороны жизни и быта преимущественно франкоязычной канадской провинциии Квебек, вставшей на путь модернизации и сознательного поиска чёткой национальной самоидентификации.

A period of rapid social change in Quebec symbolised by the 1960 election defeat of the conservative rural-dominated Union National by Jean Lesage and the Liberals on a policy of modernization and nationalism. This resulted in the unleashing of modern liberal ideas and the transformation of social institutions such as schooling the family, politics and government to reflect those values. These changes led to a decline in influence for the church, an increased divorce rate and a decreased birth rate, the creation of modern universities and schools and expansion of the role of government in society. The dynamic new role of government became a focus for the nationalist aspirations of the Quebec people. In 1976 the Parti Quebecois was elected and this led to a 1980 referendum on the issue of changing Quebec's position within Canada from that of a province like others to some form of sovereignty-association. This referendum was defeated and a second, conducted in 1995 on a question of separation with some form of continued economic association, was defeated by a margin of less that 1%.
