Thinking out loud:

1) When was the last time a First World government collapsed largely because of riots or street demonstrations?

2) When was the last time a First World government was overthrown by armed revolutionaries?

Off the top of my head I'd say "1968" and "sometime in the 1920s, depending" But I'd be interested to hear what others think.

(Yes, "First World" is a very fuzzy category. Just trying to establish broad parameters here.)
