Can a Revolution happen without violence?? Can change happen without death??? Yes!!!! Portugal is the proof 25 April 1974, the Portuguese Carnation Revolution ♥️🇵🇹 The day that the Military overthrown the "Totalitarian Regime". Because people were tired of sending their young men to a senseless war, trying to keep the oversea colonies - Angola, Guiné Bissau, Mozambique. There was no freedom of speech, the Political Police ( PIDE) arrested everyone that dared to speak against the regime. The military convoy entered Lisbon and took down the regime without shooting 1 single shot. It's said that there was no dead that day but it's not true, 5 people died that day when 1 member of the Political Police PIDE opened fire to the crowd But the change came, the Democracy was established, colonies were free, Portuguese people live in Peace since then Today we're celebrating 17.500 days living in Democracy, after 17.500 days living under fear These are photos from the internet, the Symbol of Revolution, the Carnations that the Soldiers put inside their guns https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution Do your own research, obviously there's so much more to it, "only" 5 died that day, but many died fighting a senseless war, many died in prison because they tried to fight the regime But still, Portugal made History #PeaceRevolition 🇵🇹 #GivePeaceAChance 🙏 #StopWarNOW 🌻💛💙🌻 #WeAreONE

Nice changes are made liké that in your country something very rare. Enjoy your démocratie now
Fantastic! Congratulations to all of Portugal! The best revolutions are the "bloodless" ones, because the more violent the revolution becomes, the more likely that once the dust settles, the country will be controlled by a tyrant.
