        I was looking at the list by era. First one, 1918, Egyptian Revolution.

        clicks link

        The revolution was successfully countered by British forces… Victims 800-1600.

        That was very insightful! Thanks, I did not know this list existed. May need it for future reference.

          What did you think the word “attempt” was pointing to here?

          Since you somehow forgot how to scroll down:

          4 revolutions in total were unsuccessfull

          20 have lead to some kind of success (although not all lead to a “perfect” outcome, but they did topple the ruling regimes)

          2 have no link and I am to lazy to google them

            … I don’t understand what your angle is? This is a genuinely useful list.

            For example: there seem to be types of revolution.

            Type 1: (the one I mentioned) where leadership goes “well we tried slaughter, they still coming, we should give up” Type 2: “we will not slaughter people, we’d rather give up” (eg the Mongolian revolution) Type 3: “they have the combined forces of police and military behind them, we better give up” (the lybian coup that brought Gaddafi to power, for example.)
