I think normally the Nationalist revolution against the Qing Dynasty wouldn't ping as a revolution for me as well, except I learned about it in Chinese history class at the same time I learned what the Chinese words for "revolution" were. So they're intricately linked in my mind, but for extremely idiosyncratic reasons.
Also because I never learned about it in world history at all, le sigh.
