The '''Salvadoran Revolution of 1956''' ([[Creeperian Spanish]]: '''Revolución Salvadoreño de 1956''') or the '''Salvadoran Uprising''', was a nationwide revolution against the [[Principality of El Salvador]] and its [[Creeperopolis|Creeperian]]-imposed policies, lasting from June 23, 1956 until November 11, 1956. It was the first major threat to [[Creeperopolis]] since the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council|Romerists]] defeated the [[National Council for Peace and Order|Miguelists]] in the [[Creeperian Civil War]] (1933-1949).
The revolt began as a student protest against the authoritarian Creeperian government which attracted thousands as they marched through central [[Ciudad Los’Ángeles]] to the Salvadoran capitol building, calling out on the streets using a van with loudspeakers. A student delegation, entering the radio station to try to broadcast the students' demands, was detained. When the delegation's release was demanded by the protesters outside, they were fired upon from within the building by the Creeperian secret police, known as [[National Intelligence Directorate|DINA]] (acronym for ''Dirección De Inteligencia Nacional'', literally "National Intelligence Directorate"). One student died and was wrapped in a flag and held above the crowd. This was the start of the revolution. As the news spread, disorder and violence erupted throughout the capital.
The revolt spread quickly across El Salvador and the government collapsed. Thousands organised into militias, battling DINA and [[Creeperian Army|Creeperian troops]]. Pro-Creeperian [[Romerism|Romerists]] and DINA members were often executed or imprisoned and former political prisoners were released and armed. Radical impromptu councils wrested municipal control from the ruling [[Creeperian Initiative]] and demanded political changes. A new government declared that POSEC was disbanded and pledged to re-establish free elections. By the beginning of November, fighting had almost stopped, and a sense of normality began to return.


On November 4, 1956, a large Creeperian force invaded Ciudad Los’Ángeles and other regions of the country. The Salvadoran resistance continued until November 11. Around 3,000 Salvadorans and 400 Creeperian troops were killed in the conflict. Mass arrests and denunciations continued for months thereafter. By January 1957, the new Creeperian-installed government had suppressed all public opposition. DINA was withdraw from El Salvador in 1956, however, to appease the Salvadorans.
The '''Salvadoran War''' ([[Creeperian Spanish]]: '''Guerra Salvadoreño'''), was a proxy war fought during the [[Creeperian Civil War]] over control of the Creeperian client of [[El Salvador]].


Public discussion about the revolution was suppressed in El Salvador for more the duration of the reign of [[Romero II of Creeperopolis|Romero II]]. After his reign, his sons [[Adolfo V of Creeperopolis|Adolfo V]] and [[Romero III of Creeperopolis|Romero III]] initiated reforms and reconciled with the Salvadorans, allowing political freedoms. Under [[Alexander II of Creeperopolis|Alexander II]], support for the revolution remains illegal. Following the [[Martial Law in Creeperopolis|declaration of martial law in 2019]], DINA activities resumed in El Salvador.
