Revolutionary Events of 1900 to 1945

Revolutionary events from 1900 to 1945, a period of uprisings against empires and old regimes in Asia and Europe. An entry belongs here when its cited source describes a discrete uprising or seizure of power that took place in those years. The Wuchang Uprising of 1911 began the revolution that ended imperial rule in China, and the October Revolution of 1917 brought the Bolsheviks to power in Russia. The group concerns single events, while the movement entries on the same period describe the longer processes of which they were a part.
