Question

Does a revolution need a strong central figure in order to succeed?

Answer 1

Yes it does and will always need a strong central figure

Answer 2

Egypt's government continues to hold on to power after two weeks of sometimes violent protests. History offers a guide to what makes a revolution more likely to succeed — or fail. Iran's popular uprising, for example, succeeded in 1979, but China crushed the 1989 uprising in Tiananmen Square.
