The War of the Hats was listed as an Awakening in Sweden. Seems to have had a very external focus. Two important themes: 1. The political system. 2.The economic system. Easy to imagine such a 2T being part of a revolutionary cycle.
There was a 2T in Britain about the same time as the Missionary Awakening in the USA. It seems to have been even weaker or milder than the Missionary Awakening. I believe that two themes were Feminism and Socialism.
Feminism and socialism were daring ideas back then. Philosophy, and often not religion, is the essence of some Awakening eras.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
