Interwar Czechoslovakia was a very successful democracy - in fact, after 1933 it was the only democracy in the region.
Athens is usually considered the first successful democracy to last for any sustained amount of time.

Depends on the government really. some democracies are successful (i.e. UK) while others arent. democracy is the form of government in which the rules are elected by the people
The successful American Revolution established a model of democracy, the likes of which this world had not yet seen.
In order for something to be successful, it has to have goals. The only goals of the Iraq War that are clear were to get Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and to create a democracy. There were no weapons of mass destruction and Iraq is not necessarily a democracy. Additionally hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died and a few thousand coalition soldiers died. It would seem like the Iraq War was not successful.
no, democracy would be more inclusive and representative under a socialist system More to the point, democracy is a political theory/system, while capitalism is an economic system/theory. They are not directly connected in any way to each other.
Athenian democracy has influenced many democratic governments in world history, including the American governmental system
I would argue that direct democracy is not successful at all. In a true democracy every legal citizen would have an equal say in EVERY decision made. What we have here in the United States is not a true democracy. We have a mix of direct democracy and elected representatives. Some drawbacks to a complete democracy would include; decisions take alot of time and in times of war we need quick action, my ten year old brother would have just as much say in the functionings of our government as a US senator, and it would be a tyrannic rule by the majority-51% of the population could force the other 49% to do whatever they please.
Because on August 15, 1947, India's independence made it the world's largest democracy.
There had been no democracy. Pisistratus was appointed to curb the rapacious power of the rich oligarchs and give justice to the less affluent citizens. He was successful in this, passing control to his two sons on his death. Democracy began after they were expelled, and Cleisthenes took control from the oligarchs who attempted to return to power.
