Counterexamples: fall of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Fourth Republic in France in 1954, English Civil War and the English royal restoration a few decades later.
Well, I guess the GP should have added "the government stupidly mass-murdering its citizens at random" to the other 3 causes.
About the fall of the Soviet Union, a lot of it was caused by each one of the GP's factors and the mass-murdering. You seem to want a clear case with a well defined "fall", but theirs wasn't it (like any supranacional empire).
Almost without fail, every fall of a government is caused by external invasion or lack of food/water.
All other issues people will complain about, but never act on en-mass.

Syria 2006-2011, Ukraine next year

The fall of the government only occurred 14 years after the end of that drought though...
Depends which part of Syria we're talking about.
