Something these revolutions have in common is that they are all aiming for one specific goal, to overthrow a bad ruler and establish a democracy. Some things that are different about these revolutions is that they have different amount, of deaths but only (Ukraine had no deaths) and they happened in different countries, and at different times (different years). Also, many of the revolutions reached their goal and achieved, well, most of them because in Tiananmen their goal was not achieved.
Q---What are the causes of many revolutions????
If there is something this two revolutions have in common it is that they are are both aiming for one specific goal. The goal both revolutions are aiming for is to overthrow a not good at all ruler(bad) so they can establish a democracy. This revolutions have differences as a different amount of deaths, but in those the only country that has no deaths is Ukraine. All of this happened in different countries and different times. The cause of Tienanmen since there goal was not achieved the other revolutions were able to reach their goals.
question:What type of causes there have to be for revolutions to occur in the world?
All the revolutions purposes was to end a corrupted goverment and take power from the wrong hands. Al the people wanted to end the bad ruling and give power to he people. There are many differences about these revolutions including the days it took to en, the lives taken and much more importantly the specific cause.
How can these revolutions be turned into less violent acts like the one in Ukraine?
answer to diego: The causes of revolutions is the people realizing the goverments bad actions and taking an action into stopping this.
What the revolutions have in common are that it is when citizens want to overthrow their ruler or the people attack the government and some times the government attacks back.
The difference about the six revolutions is that not every revolution won and that in some countries the military attacked the people but in others the military did not wanted to attack the citizens.
Why does it say in some revolutions that they were partially achieved?
Answer to Diego:
Q---What are the causes of many revolutions????
The causes of many revolutions are that some governments treat people bad or put high taxes to the people and corrupt the people, so the people see this and revel against the government so that they will change this.

Usually what the revolution have in common is that the revolutionists try to overthrow, or to remove or replace the current leader or goverment that the people of the country are not happy with, based on poor leadership, or unfair rules. Also revolutions aim to establish a different kind of goverment ideals, like in Tiananmen they tried to establish democracy. The difference between the different revolutions is that some wanted to establish a different goverment, others tried to change the leader they currently had, because they were unfair or corrupt, or because the have a poor leadership.
Q--- How do many revolutions resolve, peacefully or violently?
Answering Diego P question, many of the causes of a revolution are that many people ar not happy with the laws or rights they have, they are usually not happy with the way many different people are not treated equally with the same rights.

The two revolutions have one thing in common which is taking the government away because they say that the government is in the wrong hands and they are having a lot of problems such as poverty and hunger. The difference about these revolutions is the country and that not every country won it. In Egypt what they tried to do was to make democracy in their country because they had a bad ruler and they wanted a change in their lives.
Where all resolved with violence?

The causes of this revolutions us the government ( bad governments) that rule countries and their people do not like them so they try to over throw him and make democracy so that they can elect their government and have what they want.

This revolution have in common that they are looking for the same perspective or the same target to put democracy. The difference between this 6 revolutions is that they all end in different years for exception of Tunisia and Egypt which ended in 2011. For example, Iran ended in 1979, East Germany in November 1989, Russia in August 1991, Indonisia in May 1998, Serbia in October 2000, Gerorgia in November 2003, and Ukraine in December 2004.

The causes of this revolutions is that people want to be treated equally all over the world and everyone has the right to be treated the same.

1. What have these revolutions in common?
All are made for a change in the government, in countries where the leader is not democratically elected, or he I elected but later he doesn’t leave and wants to stay in the power at any cost. Another thing that they all have in common is that they are made by young people, generally against an old leader.
2. What are the differences?
Some begin with a violent mass murder, other with the act of a single person or more have a no violent beginning, like in Tiananmen Square. In most cases revolutions are repressed violently, but for example in USSR with Gorbachoff or in Georgia with Shevardnadze
Answer to the question on the causes of revolution.
The principal reasons of revolution are violations are repression of civil and political human rights, in other cases is poverty and social exclusion.
Question: what are the consequences of recent revolutions in North Africa on migration of people?
