The Tulip Revolution

The Tulip Revolution was caused by the civilians of Kyrgyzstan creating a revolution by pretesting against their president. They did not like their president, Askar Akayer, they found him to be dishonest and not trustworthy. People, by protesting in the streets overthrew the president, and he immediately fled Kyrgyzstan.
The similarities between the two revolutions were, they started in vaguely similar ways. The Tulip revolution began because the civilians had a problem with the government and who was running it. The French Revolution started because of governmental issues as well. They both had the similar sparks, to why the revolution would begin. Otherwise they are completely different revolutions.
Between the Tulip Revolution and the French Revolution, there were pretty significant differences. First, Only three people died in the Tulip Revolution verses the many thousands of people that died in France. The civilians of Kyrgyzstan had one goal and one goal only, that was to overthrow the president, and because of everyone coming together for the same goal, they were successful quickly. The French Revolution had many goals, and not everyone agreed or had the same goals, which made it hard to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Last, they had very different approaches to their revolutions. During the Tulip Revolution, they knew what they wanted, therefore it did not last long. The French Revolution lasted much longer because they had a different approach, with less specific goals, and more pure anger, which never leads to good. The two were very different from one another, and it shows that people have actually grown from the French Revolution and have learned what to do and what not to do.
