The Revolutions of 1916 - 1923 were a revolutionary wave consisting off mass political unrest and revolts around the world created by the aftermath of World War I. The uprisings were mainly socialist or anti-colonial in nature and were mostly short-lived, failing to have a long-term impact, with the notable exception of revolutions in Russia and Germany, both of which created republics, one liberal, one Marxist-Leninist.
