By the early 1990s, the Loaland campaigns continued to rage on, requiring a steadily increasing budget. The Delepasian military was overstretched and there was no political solution or end in sight. While the human losses were relatively small, the war as a whole had already entered its second decade. The Delepasian ruling regime of the Estado Social faced criticism from the international community and was becoming increasingly isolated. It had a profound impact on Delepasia – thousands of young men avoided {{wp|conscription}} by emigrating illegally, mainly to [[Almadaria]] and [[Cartadania]]. | By the early 1990s, the Loaland campaigns continued to rage on, requiring a steadily increasing budget.

The campaigns in Loaland | The campaigns in Loaland were increasingly unpopular throughout Delepasia as the people became weary of war and balked at its ever-rising expense. Many ethnic Delepasians in Loaland were also increasingly willing to accept Loa autonomy if their economic status could be preserved. However, despite the guerrillas' unpredictable and sporadic attacks against targets all over the countryside of Loaland, the economy of Loaland was booming, cities and towns were expanding and prospering steadily over time, new transportation networks were being opened to link Loaland with the rest of Delepasia and the number of ethnic Delepasian migrants increased rapidly since the 1970s (although always as a small minority of the territory's total population). | ||
Suddenly, after a few failed attempts at a military rebellion, in April 1994 the [[Velvet Revolution]] in [[Santa Maria]], organised by left-wing Delepasian military officers – the [[Democratic Revival Society]] (DR Society), overthrew the Estado Social regime. The military-led coup can be described as the necessary means of bringing democracy to Delepasia, ending the unpopular [[Loaland campaigns]] where thousands of Delepasian soldiers had been commissioned, and replacing the {{wp|authoritarian}} ''[[Estado Social (Rumahoki)|Estado Social]]'' (Social State) regime and its secret police which repressed elemental {{wp|civil liberties}} and {{wp|political freedoms}}. However, the military coup's organisation started off as a professional class protest of [[United Delepasian Armed Forces]] {{wp|captain (land)|captains}} against a decree law that introduced a programme whereby militia officers who completed a brief training program and had served in the Loaland defensive campaigns, could be commissioned at the same rank as military academy graduates. Torres's [[Privy Council of Delepasia|Privy Council]] had begun the programme (which included several other reforms) in order to increase the number of officials employed against the Loa insurgencies, and at the same time cut down military costs to alleviate an already overburdened {{wp|government budget}}. After the coup, the [[Democratic Revival Society|DR Society]]-led [[Junta for the Salvation of Civility]], a military junta, took power. Torres resigned, and was flown under custody to [[Trescolinia]] where he stayed for a few days. He then flew to exile in [[the Cape]].
