A revolution is the act of removing a government, often by force, and putting a new
government in its place. Revolutions usually occur at breaking points. People are so fed up
with the current form of government that they rebel. Revolutions can also occur when
powerful individuals seize power. During the American Revolution, the form of government
in the American colonies changed from a constitutional monarchy to a representative
democracy. There was a revolution in Egypt in 2011. As a result, the country's government
changed from a dictatorship to an oligarchy to a representative democracy over just a few
months
