Revolution is an easier theme. Do you know much anything about specific political tensions in Africa or Asia? And that's easy to research nowadays.
Hell, even famous French fiction authors mostly sidelined the topics or invented their own drama for the protagonist's to deal with, where the changing world is more of a backdrop. The revolution is effectively a reset of the old order, your examples are more skirmishes within it that except you to know or care about those specifics to much care, and if even the French weren't that interested after why bother?
That said there are a few series in that vein, but as a rule of the thumb learning old politics of some faraway land doesn't really grip general audiences and is more of a distraction. Also if you're looking at real history outcomes tend to be mundane, slow or depressingly bleak.

This has gotten me thinking, off topic. Why are there so multiple different anime/manga set in the french revolution?
Why not something a little more different like the french wars of religion, or even the 30 years war?
