Internal Regime Change
Regime change can be precipitated by revolution or a coup d'état. The Russian Revolution, the 1962 Burmese coup and the 1990 collapse of communism in Eastern Europe are consummate examples.
Less violent examples of internally driven regime change are the establishment of the French Fifth Republic and the Federation of Australia.
