    Don't worry Jeff, I got this one...

    <b>You say you want a revolution
    Well, you know
    We all want to change the world.
    Tou tell me that it’s evolution,
    Well, you know
    We all want to change the world.
    But when you talk about destruction,
    Don’t you know that you can count me out.
    Don’t you know it’s going to be alright,
    Alright, alright.
    You say you got a real solution
    Well, you know
    We’d all love to see the plan.
    You ask me for a contribution,
    Well, you know
    We’re doing what we can.
    But if you want money for people with minds that hate,
    All I can tell you is brother you have to wait.
    Don’t you know it’s going to be alright,
    Alright, alright.
    You say you’ll change a constitution
    Well, you know
    We all want to change your head.
    You tell me it’s the institution,
    Well, you know
    You better free your mind instead.
    But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao,
    You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
    Don’t you know it’s going to be alright,
    Alright, alright.</b>

    Good question. I was thinking of the first one. or maybe it'd be more accurate to think of the whole era from late 1700s to WWII as a big revolution with several phases.

    Btw, why no votes for the Mexican Revolution? Very cool.

    I considered including other revolutions like the Industrial, Scientific, etc. But those are really a different species from the political revolutions listed.

    Why so many votes for the American Revolution? Is it a patriotism thing or something else?

    I would have to say that incinerating two villages for no real reason, causing problems that last 50 years later would have to qualify Japan.

    Cambodia would have to be #2 on my list.
