The American Revolution, because it inspired the French Revolution.

Which revolution did more good for mankind? If we go by original aims
and ideals, it's a difficult choice. If we go by the meanness and
violation of those ideals which followed, we can eliminate both. Perhaps
the abstract intellectual ideas floating around England at the time did
more good than either the French or American Revolutions.
