View submission: Are there examples of oligarchic governments being removed peacefully?
Would it be accurate to describe LBJ’s assumption of power as *not* being peaceful considering it was triggered by JFK’s assassination?
Blanco’s assassination took place years prior to the democratization of the Spanish state, and while it was probably an important event influencing the eventual conditions for that, I think it was somewhat indirect. It’s not like Blanco was assassinated by pro-democracy guerrillas (he was killed by Basque separatists) or during the course of a coup or revolution.
There's nothing here!
