A revolution means a change in the way a country is governed, usually to a different political system and often using violence or war. When a revolt happens, there is also violent action against authority, but the scope and consequences are smaller, more limited. A revolt may take place somewhere for a particular reasonusually to show disgust and as a way to protestabout somethingand for a brief period of time. Revolutions are more radical and often shake the whole country. Hope this helps!

They think the government is brutal and/or stealing from them or that the government is incompetent at providing or protecting what the peasants need.Sometimes it is because they are dependent on the group that will become the government after the revolt for a very basic need, or are threatened by them and forced to cooperate.


What was the Main reason for the Haitian revolution?

The main reason for the Haitian Revolution was the brutal system of slavery imposed by French colonial rule, which dehumanized enslaved Africans and denied them basic rights and freedoms.
