How does a revolution come to a standstill?

As long as the population walks between the set lines, everything is good.

But when there is unrest among the people, it changes.  This can have many causes.

Disagree with the decisions of the government.

If people don’t have financial means to live a normal life. 

Or if people do not feel safe and there is a threat of violence.

Then people revolt against people, the government. They take to the streets to protest and resist. In the event of violent protests, fighting is not excluded. Fortunately, we have the right to demonstrate in the Netherlands.

People are resisting. By rebelling, they want to force change.

When the protests get bigger and bigger and repeat themselves over and over again. 

Then there are two ways to stop this. 

1. To drive these people apart by force.
2. Tackle the problem and listen  

History has shown that revolutions have always brought about great changes.

In my work I have tried to show the different stages. 

To walk neatly between the plotted lines.

Brewing unrest among the population. 

Get up and take to the streets.

End up with a major conflict between the population and the government.
