Communist Governments Fall In Czechoslovakia
The fall of the communist government in Czechoslovakia had been pursued through the Velvet Revolution on November 27, 1989. This was a non-violet riot that only lasted for a 10 days. This event formed a new, non-communist government which was a first for Czechoslovakia in up to 40 years. This event inspired other countries to end communism and declare their rights. The communist-based riot made an impact on Hungary, Poland, and even the Cold War.
"I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions."
