The '''Velvet Revolution''' ([[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: ''Revolución de Terciopelo''; [[Brenadime Tainean|Reform Tainean]]: ''Revaulousiaun des Velaus''), also known as the '''Day of Steel''' (Pelaxian: ''Día del Acero''; Reform Tainean: ''Gouei des Asier''), was a {{wp|military coup}} by left-leaning military officers that overthrew the {{wp|authoritarian}} [[Estado Social (Rumahoki)|Estado Social]] regime on 30 April | The '''Velvet Revolution''' ([[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: ''Revolución de Terciopelo''; [[Brenadime Tainean|Reform Tainean]]: ''Revaulousiaun des Velaus''), also known as the '''Day of Steel''' (Pelaxian: ''Día del Acero''; Reform Tainean: ''Gouei des Asier''), was a {{wp|military coup}} by left-leaning military officers that overthrew the {{wp|authoritarian}} [[Estado Social (Rumahoki)|Estado Social]] regime on 30 April 1994 in [[Santa Maria]], producing major social, economic, intra-territorial, demographic, and political changes in [[Rumahoki]], then known as the [[Delepasian Commonwealth]], within a two-year period. It resulted in the [[Rumahokian transition to democracy]] and the rise of the nascent [[People's Democratic Party]]. | ||
The revolution began as a coup organised by the [[Democratic Rebirth Society]] (Pelaxian: ''Sociedad del Renacimiento Democrático'', SRD; Reform Tainean: ''Kasikasgau des Reneisensa Demaukrata'', KRD), composed of military officers who opposed the regime, but was soon coupled with an unanticipated campaign of popular {{wp|civil resistance}}.

An attempted coup led by conservative general and provisional commander-in-chief [[Raul Quintero]] led to a two-year long civil war known as the [[Período de Salvación Democrática]]. Negotiations with [[Loa liberation movements]] began, and by 1996, the states of [[Kalanatoa]] and [[Na'aturie]] were established, located where the former [[Loaland protectorate]] used to be. | ||
The Velvet Revolution got its name from the fact that the coup was nearly bloodless, and from the oft-used nickname for the Group of Nine, that being the "velvetines". In Rumahoki, 30 April is a [[public holidays in Rumahoki|national holiday]] ([[Classical Latin|Latin]]: ''Dies Holoserica''; Pelaxian: ''Día de Terciopelo''; Reform Tainean: ''Gouei des Velaus'') that commemorates the revolution. | The Velvet Revolution got its name from the fact that the coup was nearly bloodless, especially in comparison to the subsequent civil war, and from the oft-used nickname for the Group of Nine, that being the "velvetines".
