− | The '''Velvet Revolution''' was the mass movement in [[Czechoslovakia]] that, through largely non-violent means, overthrew the [[communism|communist]] system of government on [[28 November]] [[1989]], replacing it with a [[democracy|democratic]] one some seven days later. Key slogans of the revolution were "Truth prevails" ([[Czech language|Czech]]: ''pravda vítězí'') and "[[Democracy]] now!" (Czech: ''democracie nyní''). |

Unbeknownst to most [[Czechoslovak]]s, the revolution owed its success to a [[British]] woman, [[Heather Lake]]. Deep underneath the protests in [[Prague]]'s [[Wenceslas Square]], she defeated the [[Mavora Queen]], but lost her own life, solely to protect [[Annabel Lake|her daughter]]. But this act of individual bravery saved the Revolution, since the Mavora Queen was intent on stopping the movement. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Broken Man (comic story)|The Broken Man]]'') |
