You're missing the point. The civil war is just what usually has to lead up to the eventual regime change. If all those places could have had democratic revolutions by making British people feel bad like India did, then the point would still stand.
People wanted democracy, and seeing it in France and the US proved that it was possible and desirable.

Ok, I buy some of that.
What are your thoughts of the Democrats, establishment Republicans, media, and apparently several intelligence agents being raw against this administration? Combine that with shit like Antifa and BLM and you got yourself a civil war just because someone lost a democratically held election. Was Trump taking office considered "regime change"?
Sure. I'm probably going to go to bed soon anyway.
The civil wars I was talking about are more like the ones that happened in Pre-WW1 Europe, Latin America, India (though not really a civil war, still a revolution), Australia, and China (the one that overthrew the Qing dynasty, not the communist one).
There's also Japan and South Korea, which are rare examples of people (mostly) embracing a democracy that was forced upon them.
