The Fourth Turning is a period of crisis in a recurring historical cycle, marked by upheaval, institutional breakdown, and societal transformation.

The Fourth Turning is the final phase in a generational cycle theory proposed by William Strauss and Neil Howe, where history moves in roughly 80- to 100-year cycles divided into four "turnings": the High, the Awakening, the Unraveling, and the Crisis, which is the Fourth Turning. Each turning lasts about 15 to 25 years and reflects the collective mood, behaviors, and challenges faced by society.
