mh no, sorry. I just figured that one could use the sexual revolution as the third one..but that was a world wirde( or at least western) thing.

I guess nobody will find the answer so here it is:

The glorious Beer Revolution in Bavaria in the year 1844!

The king of Bavaria Ludwig 1 declared that a rise of the beeer rpice to fill the empty pocket of the states. This lead to an puplic outrages and the people started to protest widly in the streets, to occupy the breweries and even had fights with the police. When the police was unable to control the situation the army was called, but they showes mostly sympathy for the protesters and are suppossed to even have refused a direct order from the King to shot at them when they were threating to storm the Theater where the King was watching a show. After a few days the king had to back down and was forced to reduce the price again. The people had been victorious.
