    Is there any violent revolution in history for which genuine peace followed in the immediate aftermath?

    Most of them, depending on your definition of immediate.

      A few weeks to months following the rebellion. Maybe a year at most.

      It’s different if the rebellion does not itself topple the structures of government. I’m talking about violent coups specifically I suppose, not a bit of violent protesting that motivates an existing government to act.
