What other countries like the US are democracies?

Democracy varies. Some countries are more "democratic" than others. However, as a rule, ALL of the members of the European Union (EU) have to be democratic. Also, most (if not all) of the countries of the Caribbean and Latin America are democracies now. The former British colonies of Canada, Australia and New Zealand are also democracies. Finally, several important countries in Asia are currently democratic including India, Japan, Indonesia and Thailand. In Africa, South Africa and Tunisia are both democracies. There are many countries which claim to be "democratic" but are actually not democratic. A good example is the "Democratic Republic of Korea" (North Korea) which is not democratic at all. Russia also claims to be a democracy but it is not regarded as a "free and fair" democracy because not all the candidates in their elections have the same chances of winning.

Which is reason democracy failed following most Latin American Revolutions?

Democracy often failed in Latin America following most revolutions due to a combination of factors, including weak political institutions, social inequality, and military interference. Many revolutionary leaders established authoritarian regimes, prioritizing stability over democratic governance. Additionally, the lack of widespread political participation and education hindered the development of a robust democratic culture. Economic challenges and external influences further destabilized nascent democracies, leading to a cycle of political turmoil and dictatorship.
