    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.)
