Your history lesson of the day, kids! The Velvet Revolution began on November 17, 1989, in Prague and led to the overthrow of the Communist regime a month later. Out of it would come Slovakia and the Czech Republic. 1989 was a good year for liberty in Europe as Communism collapsed and the Cold War followed.

Honestly i don't about it.. any type of Velvet revolution...but thanks for this info.
Yeah, I remember this. It must have been a really wonderful event. 20 years, wow! Great that the communism had ended. I feel so lucky that we didn't have to experience that here in Canada.
