Maybe we include coups now to the candidate list of Revolutions.

My favorite revolution was the Chinese Communist Revolution and October Revolution. Can't decide between the two...

They were gassing unarmed peasents in forests (read about the Tambov Rebellion). |

Plus the Chinese one more or less led to a the Chinese Cultural Revolution but the USSR one had to take a civil war to even establish stronk USSR. |

The Cultural one or the one that saw the Chinese communists control the country in the first place decades before? Because the Chinese had to fight a civil war (Twice! if counting ww2 as a divide) to form the PRC, and it was almost certainly deadlier than the Russian civil war. (greater than minimum Russian estimate, while just below the maximum estimate but not counting civilians for a certain period which racked up 2 million dead soldiers) |

(greater than minimum Russian estimate, while just below the maximum estimate but not counting civilians for a certain period which racked up 2 million dead soldiers) Huh, this never popped up on my notifications. Oh well lol. I meant to mean the second half of the Chinese Civil War (also referred to as the Chinese Communist Revolution, the one that saw the Communists gaining control of China). And yes, I knew it was twice after years of studying (by studying, going on the internet and searching stuff. And quizzing myself once a week) this because I wanted to. I've decided to go with the Chinese Communist Revolution because of tactics and how this revolution changed the world. If the KMT actually took all of China, there would be many possibilities. One being an even faster collapse of the Soviet Union or Communism, since the USSR would not be able to aid North Vietnam and the other communist South Eastern Nations. North Korea would not have invaded South Korea due to the potential threat of KMT counter invasion (unless the Soviets are willing to throw men in). The USSR could also get potentially invaded as the USSR could get attacked from Asia and Europe. Second being, if the KMT took over, there is a chance that warlords in the KMT might defect. After the Northern Expedition, many warlords joined the KMT, but weren't defeated entirely. Chiang Kai Shek was not able to control them, leading to the Great Plains War. If Chiang Kai Shek took over China,the warlords could see this as a chance to take over as Chiang Kai Shek was weak. China would be brought into another civil war again... Welp, I think this was worthy enough for me to stay up till 12 in the morning lol. And remember, this is just my opinion, feel free to disagree... |

Define revolution. Does Bismarck's union of the German states count or does it have to be a traditional revolution? How about gaining independence diplomatically? Does that count?

Anything goes, as long as it may or may not involve violence but results in a major change in a country. However, please do not state stuff like Industrial Revolution or random breakthroughs in Science, etc. |

I really like the French Revolution. I did a presentation on it once.

(That moment when your own home country doesn't have an actual revolution but instead protests, riots, rallies and more) However, there was almost a revolt during the Emergency, when the Malayan Communist Party attempted to seize control of the british Straits Settlements, luckily they were subdued before anything happened. |

(That moment when your state joined a country, but never gets involved in revolutions because we're too busy selling oranges and collecting money from tourist's, slowly becoming a monopoly that will rule the world...)
