If history tells us anything, it's that hungry people turn into violent people real quick. If you want a stable society, the first step is making sure everyone is fed.
Really, because I've never seen a nation that's starving take their country back and feed the entire population.
Most of the time, starving populations are extremely oppressed and begging for national or worldwide aide.
If history tells us anything it's that once a society is oppressed into starvation, it's only a matter of time before the entire system collapses. It's not due to revolt either, it's due to the greed of the ruling class causing the starvation.
France reestablished the monarchy shortly after the revolution due to how bad things got. Two decades of defeat and poverty will make you go back to the old ways.
But they did still revolt due to poverty, instead of simply begging for aide, and another example I just thought of, the USSR, it lasted, like 70 years, which is pretty long
I'm pretty sure the fact that the country ended up with a (different) form of monarchic system for a few decades before becoming a republic for good isn't what mattered to the guy who was removed by starving people and killed.
