well im assuming it means that you get your way. That resistance to change is the unwillingness to adapt to altered circumstances. It can be covert or overt, organized, or individual. So for it to be successful would be for the definition to have actually happened. hope that made sense.
In all these cases, the pre-revolutionary government is overthrown and a new order is established. Examples of successful rebellions are represented by the three major historical revolutions in France (1789), Russia (1917) and Iran (1979), as well as by the recent uprisings in Tunisia (2011). Hope this helped also give brainelist if possible
