We advise you to think back on the most striking colour revolutions of the previous few decades, which will stick in your memory for a very long time. The website covers the most notable street protests.

A novel idea, the colour revolution is defined by an effort to topple the government through large-scale public demonstrations. Pogroms, looting, and altercations with the police are common during these protests. Such demonstrations frequently degenerate into armed insurgencies if the authorities attempt to suppress the demonstrators’ demands and reject the “non-violent actions.”

1989 saw the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia. Ideas of freedom started to proliferate in several Soviet countries during Perestroika. A student protest marked the start of the velvet revolution, which resulted in the country’s dissolution and its components’ admission into the European Union, which subsequently started to grow.

2000 saw the Bulldozer Revolution in Yugoslavia. Following claims that the nation’s first round of presidential elections had been rigged, the revolution got underway. The president resigned as a result of the bulldozer revolution, which involved taking control of the parliament buildings in Belgrade. The nation broke up, and pieces of it joined the European Union.

Georgia, The Rose Revolution, 2003. Mikhail Saakashvili, the leader of the opposition, declared that the parliamentary elections had been rigged. Rose-brided protestors barged into parliament. The troops did not back the sitting president, Shevardnadze, and he was compelled to step down. As a result of Saakashvili’s election victory, Georgia was admitted to the European Union.

The Ukrainian Orange Revolution of 2004. Accusations of election fraud, in which Viktor Yanukovych was purportedly the winner, also sparked this movement. A second vote was demanded by Yushchenko, Tymoshenko, and the Socialists, his opponents. Following the revolution, Yushchenko was victorious in a new election.

The Tulip Revolution, Kyrgyzstan, 2005. The oppositionists, who called for the annulment of the parliamentary election results, initiated the tulip revolution. Both the parliament and Askar Akayev resigned as a result of the turbulent night. After taking office for five years, Kurmanbek Bakiyev was likewise removed from office.

Belarus, The Cornflower Revolution, 2006. Protests over the alleged manipulation of the presidential election results were held in Minsk from March 19–25, when a segment of the populace staged public demonstrations. Massacres and the disappearance of individuals, primarily opposition politicians, were associated with protests.

Mohammed Boisizi’s self-immolation in 2011 marked the start of the Jasmin revolution in Tunisia. About two months of widespread protests caused Zin El Abidine Ben Ali to flee. The “Arab spring” was a sequence of colour revolutions that started with this one.

The Egyptian Revolution of Lotus, 2011. The government and the president, who had served for around 30 years, resigned as a result of a series of protests that took place in Egypt’s major cities. Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi was victorious in the presidential contest.

When Ukrainians learned of President Viktor Yanukovych’s plan to halt the nation’s integration with the European Union in 2013, the country saw the start of Euromaidan, also known as the Dignity Revolution. The demonstrators called for the government to step down for betraying the interests of the country and for the agreement to be signed right away. The president’s decision to clear Maidan of protestors, purportedly in order to prepare for the New Year, worsened the situation.
