View submission: Are there examples of oligarchic governments being removed peacefully?
I believe the questioner was basically asking whether it's possible to depose an unelected, oligarchic government without a civil war. My answer is in the affirmative, although it's true as you say that none of these cases led to a powerful oligarchy simply agreeing to completely leave local politics; the outcomes have depended on the particular institutions and civil society that surrounds the transition.
