-If most ethnicities did not try to overthrow the govt. then WW1 would have gone differently.Wilson and other Western leaders supported ethnic groups getting independence to weaken the Central Powers. They would have likely gotten the same result. Also, didn't the majority of ethnic revolts happen after the war ended?
- If Finns were so obedient (also i liked you picking the only one not ''frequently'' rebelling) they would still be a part of Russia or atleast remained for sometime instead of creating a new nation. The moment Russia was in chaos 99 ethnic groups out of 100 rebelled. Also Finns were a new group in the Russian Empire, if you gave them enough time they would also rebel frequently.One, the Finns had been around for a century, and two, they were mainly fighting communists and German puppets.
As for China, here's a list of major rebellions. As you can see, the majority were caused by gripes with the government.
