The Division Between Moderates and Radicals

In the early stages of the revolutionary regime, divisions emerge between moderates and radicals. Moderates aim to consolidate minimal gains before risking further changes, while radicals seek bigger and bolder advancements. These divisions often occur along temperamental and ideological lines, with moderates frequently holding key positions of authority. However, as tension and frustration mount between the two groups, a second revolutionary wave can be triggered, either succeeding in overthrowing the moderates or being suppressed.
