    Ukraine is probably the most recent example. Russia invaded them but before that they threw their president out purely with people in the street.

    In Egypt they caused a change of governance that wasn’t a total improvement but was an improvement.

    In Tunisia and Algeria they got favorable changes in government.

      Yanukovych fled because people started raiding armories and shooting at Berkut. In Egypt the army sided with the protestors. Don’t know Tunisia and Algeria off the dome but I doubt there was no violence or threat of imminent violence

          Yeah, little known fact that the dudes in Boston accomplished so much through non violence, that the American revolution was actually just for the sport of it. Kinda like pro wrestling.
