During the case of revolutions, what are usually things that would start or incite a riot, that would be the beginning of the revolution historically? And during a revolution who or whom would usually be the leader of those group or groups that would be a part of yhe revolt?

2020-02-03 11:09:30 UTC  

I’m trying to understand the nature of revolutions and riots because I’m planning for DnD lol

I barely know the russian revolution that lead to the Soviet Union. All I know about that was that the majority was proletariat. Farmers, poor workers. But also the petty burgoise, and was lead by some academics. Am I rigt about that?

2020-02-03 11:18:18 UTC  

How did it go for the americans? The spanish? The french? Etc etc

2020-02-03 11:19:00 UTC  

I know Very little about all these. For the americans all i know was that t had a lot to do with taxation

2020-02-03 11:19:56 UTC  

there were a few things for the americans

2020-02-03 11:20:16 UTC  

Taxation, and a lack of local government representation

2020-02-03 11:20:42 UTC  

for one, it was felt that they had to defend themselves from indian raids and warring, so why are they paying for the empire? and also, the lack of voting rights, and also, the forcing of locals to host british troops

2020-02-03 11:21:06 UTC  

i think the last one was what finally tipped a lot of people over the edge

2020-02-03 11:21:07 UTC  

Not to mention being ruled over by some cunt they didnt even know 7,000 miles away

2020-02-03 11:21:24 UTC  

and also british soldiers stationed in the colonies, if they committed a crime they were whisked away to be tried in england

2020-02-03 11:21:39 UTC  

Where they were aquitted, ofc

2020-02-03 11:21:43 UTC  

yes

2020-02-03 11:21:44 UTC  

Because stinky colonial peasants

2020-02-03 11:22:41 UTC  

The start of the american revolution was throwing the tea in the harbor eight?

2020-02-03 11:23:00 UTC  

I believe thats as the catalyst to the test, is thats right?

2020-02-03 11:23:11 UTC  

Boston Massacre

2020-02-03 11:23:16 UTC  

THEN the other stuff

2020-02-03 11:23:50 UTC  

British troops fired on unarmed colonials who were protesting the imports tax

2020-02-03 11:24:04 UTC  

Which was imposed to fund a war the colonials wanted no part in, hence why they left Europe

2020-02-03 11:24:12 UTC  

Oh!

2020-02-03 11:25:15 UTC  

And the whole revolution was done mostly by ”the proletariat” right? Farmers, inner city workers, etc? But also landowners?

2020-02-03 11:25:53 UTC  

I don’t know hiw the US looked at this time. Most were agricultural workers with their own land right? Or did most live in large cities?

2020-02-03 11:25:54 UTC  

Landowners funded it, proletariat carried it out

2020-02-03 11:26:08 UTC  

Till the french started giving us guns/training/artillery/loans

2020-02-03 11:26:45 UTC  

Mostly farmers/sharecroppers. Yeah

2020-02-03 11:27:11 UTC  

I see. Seems pretty sane.

2020-02-03 11:27:16 UTC  

You could completely avoid all forms of politics/policy just by riding a wagon 40 or 50 miles away from the major cities

2020-02-03 11:27:33 UTC  

Which is why lots of englishmen/women moved to the US to escape the nonsense of Europe

2020-02-03 11:27:39 UTC  

Were there any people who were the ”leaders” of this, or was it just people banding together?

2020-02-03 11:27:50 UTC  

Ahhhh i understand

2020-02-03 11:27:54 UTC  

Banding together at first, till the continental army

2020-02-03 11:28:25 UTC  

When the colonies declared themselves impartial to british rule and cut ties with England

2020-02-03 11:28:58 UTC  

I see. So a large difference between this and the russians is that the landowners were on the workers side too

2020-02-03 11:29:26 UTC  

Did the americans have a large academic community at this time?
