Question

Which Eastern European country was the only one to experience a violent transition from communism to democracy that culminated in the execution of its dictator, Nicolas Ceausescu?

Answer 1

Romania

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike the rest of the countries in Eastern Europe that transitioned from communism to democracy peacefully, Romania had it the hard way, where violence had to be used in order to stop the communism. Nicolae Ceausescu was a communist dictator and he was not willing to give up on his power. The revolt among the people reached a boiling point and they got out on the streets in order to take him down. The military and the police where not capable of stopping the millions of people, and the situation quickly escalated. Ceausescu tried to escape, but he was caught and publicly executed, which marked the end of communism in Romania, and started the transition toward democracy.
