About RevolutionDB

RevolutionDB covers 114 revolutions and revolutionary waves from the ancient world to the twenty-first century: social revolutions, national liberation struggles, communist seizures of power, anti-colonial wars, democratic uprisings, and coups that became revolutions. Entries give the year, the outcome, the causes, key events, leaders, and long-term consequences in a neutral, educational tone. Revolutions reshaped borders, ideologies, and the vocabulary of modern politics, from liberty and equality to soviets and decolonization. Understanding how regimes fall, and what replaced them, is a window into how the modern world was made.
