Japan still had mostly the same people near the top during all of these transitions. They only changed form without changing the essense. France lost a great deal due to their revolution. They still have to praise it because that's the foundation of their state, but in fact they has lost huge number of their best people (murdered or defecting to their competitors) and were dethroned as the country controlling Europe. And you can see their neighbours who did not do that costly mistake and now comparatively better off (caught up where they were previously incomparable). Ireland had national independence movement - these fare better than plain "I win, you lose" revolutions.
