The 1989 revolutions in Eastern Europe were peaceful. The 2014 revolution in Ukraine was bloodless.

@helenS There was about 100 people killed in 2014

@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz That's what I would call peaceful.

@helenS where do you draw the line? 500 killed? 1000?

@deadgerbil It's not a question of absolute numbers. A revolution will be peaceful if no party is determined to kill the other side.

@deadgerbil i think if the deaths in your revolution can blend in with annual murder statistics, it is largely bloodless.
