The West Besmenian Revolution (Besmenian: Westbesmenische Revolution) was a period of violent civil unrest in the Besmenian Empire between May and June 1966. The West Besmenian Revolution started in the city of Helmfurt and soon spread throughout the country. It led to the end of the fascist one-party dictatorship and the establishment of the Besmenian Republic.
Background
The Besmenian Empire's economy has been in decline since the late 1950s. After the beginning of the West Besmenian economic crisis in 1963, the situation became more difficult when the first protests began in Helmfurt and Melmingia.
