in the 1960s quebec experienced an era of rapid change. what is this called?
the quiet revolution
in the 1960s, quebec experienced the quiet revolution to modernize society from traditional christian teachings. québécois nationalists demanded independence, and tensions rose until violence erupted during the 1970 october crisis. in 1976 the parti québécois was elected to power in quebec, with a nationalist vision that included securing french linguistic rights in the province and the pursuit of some form of sovereignty for quebec, leading to a referendum in 1980 in quebec on the question of sovereignty-association, which was turned down by 59% of the voters. at the patriation of the canadian constitution in 1982, the quebec premier did not sign it; this led to two unsuccessful attempts to modify the constitution so it would be signed, and another referendum on quebec independence in 1995 which was turned down by a small majority of 50.6%.
canadian identity
many american colonists who remained loyal to england left the 13 atlantic colonies before american independence for canada, with many settling in communities in southern quebec. in the 19th century, quebec experienced several waves of immigration, principally from england, scotland and ireland. at the turn of the 20th century, immigrants to quebec came mainly from ireland, but large numbers of immigrants arrived from germany and other areas of western europe.
