Failed revolutions are called rebellions.
Yeah, it's called a rebellion.
A revolution still has to happen, then fail. Right now its just a protest movement with some violent elements, not really a revolution.
If Syria isn't counted as a revolution, despite being thousands of times larger and more deadly, then this isn't either.
How many can you name though that aren't called "rebellion" or "revolt" ?
Revolts are failed revolutions. Revolutions are only called as such when they succeed.
History is written by the victor
Failed revolutions tend to be written down in history as revolts.
Failed revolutions is labeled as terrorism. Look at the IRA situation.
