1). The saffron revolution in Burma’s people protested and used non- violent actions such as a banner that tells to free Burma and other countries also helped out Burma by internet blog and stop trading goods to express their frustrations.

2). The revolution is called “The Saffron Revolution in Burma”. So far in our social studies class, we’ve learned American Revolution, French Revolution and People Power. This revolution includes non- violence and protesting and it is very similar to People Power that happened in Philippines because, they also used non-violence and tons of people protested to get rid of president.

3). The eventual outcome of the revolution will be that the Burmese people will gain their freedom after roughly six years of dictatorship and they will continue to live in horror and suffering until that day when some person will overthrow the leader.

4). We can’t actually say if the revolution was justified because it is still going on. Other method might had have worked but we think this was the best method. The whole point of the revolution was for the monks, who are highly respected in Burma, to rebel against the dictator with out violence. If the dictator used violence, it would make him look bad and give him a bad repetition to the world (since the monks are not fighting back). So this is why we think this method was the best.

5). This revolution follows Brinton Crane’s ‘Anatomy of a Revolution’ because the government had made the people angry and they were beginning to demonstrate protests its also becoming very fragile due to the suppression of the public.
