The tyranny will eventually be by the trend of history.

Hope someone can help.

Dear sir, A trend of history may not overthrow a tyranny. For it is the overthrow of the tyranny that establishes the trend, no? Kind regards, Goldmund

Unfortunately "in" wouldn't work either. I'm inclined to agree with Goldmund: a "trend" can't be said to have an effect on one of the events that establishes that trend.
