    Crane Brinton’s Anatomy of a Revolution:


    The Course That a Revolution Seems to Take

    Revolutionary Stage Examples During the ________________ Revolution


    1. Impossible demands
    made of government
    which, if granted,
    would mean its end.

    2. Unsuccessful
    government
    attempts to
    suppress
    revolutionaries.

    3. Revolutionaries gain
    power and seem
    united.

    4. Once in power,
    revolutionaries begin
    to quarrel among
    themselves, and
    unity begins to
    dissolve.

    5. The moderates gain


    the leadership but
    fail to satisfy those
    who insist on
    further changes.
    6. Power is gained by
    progressively more
    radical groups until
    finally a lunatic
    fringe gains almost
    complete control.

    7. A strong man
    emerges and
    assumes great
    power.

    8. The extremists try


    to create a "heaven
    on earth" by
    introducing their
    whole program and
    by punishing all their
    opponents.

    9. A period of terror
    occurs.

    10. Moderate groups


    regain power. The
    revolution is over.
