The Silent Revolutions (Dazhdin: Tihyje Revolucje; Dolch: Stille Revolutionen; Sanarijan: Tićije Révoluzai) were a series of unsuccessful peaceful revolutions, that swept through the at the time socialist nations in southern Argis of Dazhdinia, Sanarija and Velaheria. The revolutions themselves began with escalating protests, which later gained popular traction, gaining over a million protesters on the largest gatherings. The turning point of the revolutions is considered to be the evening of 24th November 1989, one day before the planned international general strike, when the army figures were given orders to open fire into the demonstrators against the demonstrators and martial law was declared, with tens of thousands of suspects being arrested in the night from 24th to 25th November and being jailed without trial in makeshift detention centers. Eventually, the martial laws were lifted between mid 1990 and early 1992.
