The first great awakening was an evangelical and revitalization movement that swept Protestant Europe and British America, especially the American colonies, in the 1730s and 1740s, leaving a permanent impact on American Protestantism.

The First Great Awakening in the American colonies was a set of impassioned spiritual revivals that disseminated across the colonies of America in the late phase of the 1730's and early phase of 1740's. The revival movement lastingly influenced Protestantism as followers attempted to recreate personal piety and spiritual dedication. The Great Awakening signified the appearance of Anglo-American evangelicalism as a denominational move among the Protestant religions.
