Jamo,
I didn't forget Russia - I picked the ones that I remembered reading about in the news (there is an island country that happened around the same time as the Philipines, but I can't remember which, and I'm too damn lazy to look it up). I added China because of it's relevance to the topic. Russia is similar enough in circumstance to China that it really wasn't worth mentioning (though they did survive 50 years longer, as well as some rather 'interesting' times). I'm sure any of us could take 5-10 minutes and come up with half a dozen more.

It also proves, contrary to Meats 'genius level historian' thinking, that protest and revolution DO work. India and Pakistan can be added to the list above; they were created, along with some of the aforementiond countries, by protest.

Edit: To be fair - I did forget Cubas recent 'handover' (though I think giving power over to another family member is cheating).
