All of the examples cited use a repudiation of the backing of currency or bonds with gold or silver. I don't think I'd call that a default. I know that there is a political minority that still thinks that breaking away from the gold standard was a mistake, but that's not the same thing as straight up refusing to pay back holders of government debt.
