3 FIVE Stages of Revolution
1 - UNREST People of unhappy with their current situation Economy is usually doing poorly Gap between the rich and poor 2 - UPRISING Revolts and riots occur Usually an event that sparks people to take action 3 - EUPHORIA Old gov’t is out and new gov’t takes over People feel free Doesn’t last long… gov’t is usually unstable and cannot maintain control

4 4 - STRUGGLE FOR POWER Another new gov’t comes to power Often a fight for power occurs Strict rule and oppression 5 - SOLUTION Another new gov’t takes over and implements new policies to stabilize gov’t Allow for order but not necessarily fair to the people Often situation is as bad if not worse than when the revolution started
