In 1989 ,if i am correct,the students of China protested for more democratical procedures which ended sadly.Was the students' movement a "revolution" or simply a protest without a good result?

well...it's aim wasn't to overthrow the government...simply trying to get it to carry out some sort of reforms...like, more freedom of speech and take a harder stand against corruptions ect...

   during the prostest, students sang party songs and the Internationale and such...from which one can see that the protesters weren't anti-communist or anti-government before the crackdown.

    if you ask me..i'd say it's a hell of a protest, but a pussy revolution.
