Unfair Treatment in Both Egyptian and French Revolution
Taxation during the French Revolution is similar to the Egyptian Revolution because the leader in both countries treated their people poorly. The 3rd Estate in France were paying an unfair amount of taxes while the nobles were only paying 2% of the taxes. And in Egypt, the people were being paid 300 pounds a month, which causes them to either be a thief or a stealer, they had no sort of democracy, the elections were rigged, and the police were brutal. In both cases, the people were mistreated with an appalling leader.

The Relations Between Louis XIV and Mubarak
King Louis XVI of France is similar to former president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak. Louis XVI and Mubarak were both leaders of their country who got ousted from their position because they took rights away from their people, which caused them to be overthrown by their people. In both cases, the people wanted better living conditions like liberty, equality, inalienable rights, (French Revolution) less political issues, more freedom and less economic issues (Egyptian Revolution). Both leaders were controlling, unfair, and corrupted leaders that could care less about the well being of their people so they recieved the consequences.

Comparison Between Egyptian Protestors vs. The Bolsheviks
The Egyptian Revolution of 2011 relates in many ways back to the Russian Revolution and a huge comparison between the two were the people fighting for new rights. In the modern Egyptian revolution the people in Egypt were fighting Mubarak to give them equal rights and to stop the censorship of the education. In the russian revolution the Bolsheviks similar to the Egyptian protestors were demanding new rights specifically focusing on Equality. Behind Vladimar Lennin the Bolsheviks became the communist party of the U.S.S.R. Right now in Egypt, it has its elections coming up soon and maybe just like the past revolution of Russia the craze demand for equality can spur up when the options to power.

Czar Nicholas vs. Hosni Mubarak
Thousands of Egyptian protesters gather up to protest
Czar Nicholas's wife Alexandra of Hesse-Darmstadt was a strong part in his decisions because she believed in autocratic power witch put all the power of russia at the Czars hands. All this power was also in the hands of Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak even though they have a democracy government he was more of a tyrant in a democracy. The citizens of Egypt realized the corruption of their former President Hosni Mubarak, which resulted in civil unrest, causing the biggest protest the country of Egypt had ever seen. This is similar to what happen in 1917 and the Czar of Russia and the Bolsheviks, they felt like their leader, Czar Nicholas, was taking advantage of citizens, and treating them as if they were beneath him, witch they were not. Even after advancing, thriving past what used to be, two different leaders one hundred years apart treated their countries the same way.
