The Sierran Cultural Revolution was a period of social and political change that coincided with the that took place in Sierra from 1901 to 1945. The Revolution radically changed racial and social attitudes in Sierra, and led to the birth of contemporary Sierran culture. The Revolution was marked with widespread legal reforms, shift in attitudes and customs, increased immigration, and violent outbreaks from. The change transformed Sierra into a society and impacted modern Sierran politics and democracy, leading it towards the global power it has reached in the present-day.

The Revolution began in response to the effects of the and continued immigration of people from  and  into Sierra. The rapid modernization and technological advancement of Sierra came at the cost of poor living conditions for the lower and middle classes and widespread corruption among Sierra's corporate elites. Immigration on the other hand, fueled racial tensions between the predominant Sierran whites and non-white immigrants who posed a threat to economic and labor interests. Social progressives and reformists sought to consolidate better conditions and rights to the disaffected commoners and to extend cordiality to new ethnic groups.

Rigorous and active campaigning for civil rights to Asians, Hispanics, and blacks led to increased social integration and coexistence. The especially apparent prominence of Asian immigrants in Sierra eventually ballooned into genuine interest among whites, mystified with, though best exemplified through sociologist Mark Culler's Comparison of Western and Oriental Thought who called for the union between European Protestant culture with East Asian culture. Growing acceptance and open adoption of new cultures between all ethnic groups evolved into a national, cohesive culture of similar customs and beliefs that consolidated elements from both Western and Eastern culture.

Opposition to the changes ushered forth by the Revolution came from traditionalists and who sought to preserve ideals of  and rejection of progressive thinking. Occasionally, resistance turned violent, with numerous race-related riots, s, murders, and organized crime against minorities spearheaded by racist and nationalist organizations such as the Imperial Knights of Sierra (IKS) and the Workingmen's Party. Increased social stigmatization of these groups and continued growing acceptance of the new revolutionary culture, coupled with government support for such changes eventually led to the counterrevolutionary movement's apparent obsolescence by the end of.
