The Anatomy of a Revolution

1st Stage-----> People start hating the current regime. Plus, there would be numerous amounts of protests and violence towards the government.

2nd Stage-----> Moderate and radical revolutionaries clash; moderates are opposed by many and eventually it destroyed the moderates. Extremists win and this period is known as the "terror" period.

3rd Stage-----> Development of Thermidorian Reaction. Life returns to normal, but a dictator generally comes to power who brings back a version of the old regime.
