• Gadhafi’s regime removed freedom of speech, created a 30% unemployment rate, and created extremely low wages.

• Revolution raged through the country causing many cities to be controlled by the rebels.

• Many Regime officials defected from the country.

Tribal tensions west of Libya’s capital show in many forms, including reports of abuse and even the assassination the Benghazi Military Chief General Abdul Fattah Younes.

I believe that Libya is heading toward the creation of a democratic state. Though, another revolution my come before the democratic state truly becomes successful.

Both revolutions were against a Tyrant leader, Moammar Gadhafi or King George the Third.

Both revolutions ended with the surrounding of the Tyrant’s force by the Rebel Army, the surrounding of the British force at Yorktown and the surrounding of Moammar Gadafi in Sirte.

Both revolutions were to regain freedoms that were taken by the ruling regime.

Both Rebel Armies used guerilla warfare.

In the Libyan Revolutions, there were no normal battles, just constant urban warfare, the tyrant, Gadhafi, was killed, and the opposing force was also from the area that the fighting occurred in.

The Libyan Revolution was a direct clash between Gadhafi supporters, like the Nationalists, and the rebels, like the Patriots.
