Spain's ETA reduced its terrorism because of being given some autonomy for its region.

There was also the MK in South Africa which did some bombings and then its allies, the ANC took over the government. There were no doubt other factors besides the terrorism here though.

Don't forget Nelson Mandela used to be called a terrorist but has since had his demands met so perhaps by definition a terrorist who wins is no longer considered to be a terrorist. Maybe that's why we don't hear about much history of this happening. We rewrite it.
