Revolutions, protests, and coups
Many countries experienced sudden changes in the political systems, which can occur when the population revolts against the government, typically due to perceived oppression (political, social, economic) or political incompetence, which is called revolution. Or by removal and seizure of a government and its powers. Typically, it is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, the military, which is called Coup d'état.
