I apologize for my extremely surface understanding of the events, I’m not very privy to the details of what happened.
As far as I know, the protests were led by students, which eventually spiraled into a nation-wide strike. De Gaulle apparently had to flee, and when elections came around, the Gaullist party triumphed with 70% of the vote.
Is there any way things could have gone better? If not electorally but in other ways? Could the protests and strikes have evolved into a revolution or is that just impossible?
