        You’re suggesting that the end of Apartheid was caused solely by the US sanctions causing a popular revolt in South africa?

      Arguably any revolution comes from a critical mass of the population being unhappy…

        History shows it’s never quite that clear cut. However that’s rather irrelevant. I’m asking when have US sanctions sparked a popular revolution that overthrew a government that was sanctioned?
