I think your off on this one afc, the Kaiser had absolute power regardless of parliament and the later Wiemar Republic lead to Hitler. They had a parliament in the same way the Russians have a DUMA now. Democracy did not really get established until the post WWII period.

India is probably a good example of a post colonial democracy, they have been at it since 1948. Sure they have had a violent history but to great extent it has worked out. Its a functional state very much on the rise, this was accomplished without any real help from the great powers.
