The Delepasian government and army resisted any attempts at dismantling the Estado Social regime until April 1994, when a left-wing military {{wp|coup}} in Santa Maria, known as the [[Velvet Revolution]], led the way for the establishment of a multi-party democracy after two years of a transitional civil war period known as PDS (''[[Período de Salvación Democrática]]''). This period was marked by constant social turmoil and a power struggle between left- and right-wing political forces, with the most prominent factions being the [[Delepasian Federacy]], an {{wp|authoritarian democracy|authoritarian democratic}} government filled with Estado Social reformists and Pascualist counterrevolutionaries led by [[Raul Quintero]] and headquartered in the conservative stronghold of [[San Joaquin, Homberia|San Joaquin]] in the state of [[Homberia]], the [[United Federative Councils of Vallos]], a revolutionary {{wp|Marxist}} workers' confederation led by popular far-left military commander [[Vito Borbon]] and headquartered in the forests of [[Inaua]], and the rump faction of the [[Junta for the Salvation of Civility]], | The Delepasian government and army resisted any attempts at dismantling the Estado Social regime until April 1994, when a left-wing military {{wp|coup}} in Santa Maria, known as the [[Velvet Revolution]], led the way for the establishment of a multi-party democracy after two years of a transitional civil war period known as PDS (''[[Período de Salvación Democrática]]'').

Through the first several months of the civil war period, Quintero's faction was able to win decisive victories in many battles against the two other rival factions; the split between the two socialist factions were able to weaken the revolutionaries enough for the more professional and well-organised conservative forces to prevail to the point that by early 1995, many nations began to extend diplomatic relations to Quintero's government. In an effort to form a united front against the seemingly-victorious conservatives, the Borbonist faction opted to join forces with the Junta, forming the [[Council of the National Revolution]] in August of 1995. With that, the tide of war turned so quickly that by December of 1995 Quintero and much of the leadership of the conservative faction had fled the country; the last pockets of the conservative faction would be defeated in January of 1996. | Through the first several months of the civil war period, Quintero's faction was able to win decisive victories in many battles against the two other rival factions; the split between the two socialist factions were able to weaken the revolutionaries enough for the more professional and well-organised conservative forces to prevail to the point that by early 1995, many nations began to extend diplomatic relations to Quintero's government.
