Question

why was the revolution in czechoslovakia called the \velvet revolution\?
o because it was peaceful and nonviolent
o because the soviets invaded to try to stop it
o because it was followed by a divorce
o because it was supported by people across eastern europe

Explanation:

The Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia was a non - violent transition of power. The term "velvet" implies something soft and smooth, which aligns with the peaceful nature of the revolution. The Soviet invasion is not related to the naming of the Velvet Revolution. A "divorce" in the context of a country usually refers to a split (like Czechoslovakia later becoming the Czech Republic and Slovakia), but that is not the reason for the name of the revolution. Support from people across Eastern Europe is too broad and not the specific reason for the name.

Answer:

A. because it was peaceful and nonviolent
