Have there been cases in church history of revival occurring in times of prosperity and general peace?

A good example is the Second Great Awakening. This happened during a relatively peaceful period of history, and had a great revival of spirituality and belief.

In reflecting a bit more on my question, I think a good case can be made that when the Holy Spirit came down on the young people, on Mother's Day of 1980, at Calvary Chapel in Yorba Linda a revival was initiated that would eventually impact the Christian church in a positive way even more than the charismatic renewal of the turbulent 1960's.
