How are revolutions related to civil wars?

What will be an ideal response?


Revolutions are a subtype of civil war in which the winning side not only takes
control of the state but implements radical change, such as bringing previously excluded
groups of people into power, redistributing economic wealth, and creating new political
institutions. Revolutions are so rare because insurgents do not always win, and because
many insurgent leaders are warlords or military leaders more interested in power and
its trappings than in carefully cultivating popular support.
