industrial revolution
This is what I was also thinking. OP got a bit carried away, I'd say, and missed some points. Calling something to be first in something it's always risky and it needs (at least) double checked.
Romania was the only one that had a violent revolution at the fall of the Warsaw pact! Don't know why you hated that guy that much compared to our own commies but you're the only ones that executed somebody then and that had the army firing on its own fellow countrymen.
That was manipulation and cover up.
That guy was shot before he understood what's happening to him and before he could start telling that we're changing one commie for other commie(s).
And the shooting and blood bath was even more manipulation, together with the stupidity and the incompetence we also see these days at military forces in another ongoing war.
