The Iranian Revolution and the Algerian Revolution had about the same amount of success: almost none. While the two revolutions differed in many ways, the outcomes were very similar, both literally and on a more analytical level.
While the Algerians were rebelling against their French colonizers, and the Iranians were rebelling against people of the same original nationality, both countries went from a Westernized government to a government controlled in some part by Islamic groups. In both cases, power changed hands many times, making the government very inconsistent and unstable. In Iran, people still fear the government to the point of completely losing hope. In Algeria, there has relatively recently been very large amounts of violence, so everything is still in turmoil.
Perhaps one of the largest indicators of failure is the collapse of both countries' economies. While an economic failure may seems small compared to massacres and violence, it can have much more devastating long-term effects. In Algeria, people are trying to escape their failed economy, only to be sent back home by their government. Violence can change governments very quickly, but a bad economy can ruin even the best.
