Postwar genuine revolutions occurred on three continents beyond Europe.

Evidence

The rosters vary chiefly because criteria differ; Goodwin’s, for example, only includes “major social revolutions,” while Katz’s covers all seizures of power he regards as emulating the models of Russia (1917), Egypt (1952), and Iran (1979). Yet all agree that genuine revolutions—in this book’s terms, combinations of revolutionary situations with revolutionary outcomes—took place in Asia, Africa, and South America as well as Europe during the post-World War II years. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1084
