The '''West Besmenian Revolution''' (Besmenian: ''Westbesmenische Revolution'') was a period of {{wp|Rebellion|violent civil unrest}} in the [[Besmenian Empire|West Besmenia]] 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 1964, the situation became more difficult when the first protests began in Helmfurt and Melmingen.
==The revolution==
==Reaction in East Besmenia==
==After the Revolution==
After the revolution, the transition from Ochsenbeinism to a parliamentary republic began. On June 9, [[Rudolf Bötte]] proclaimed the [[Besmenian Republic]]. Although the [[Besmenian National Union|BNU]] was still the sole ruling party until November 1966, the party still concentrated on a democratic course. At that time, the BNU was developing from an ultra-national and fascist party more to a national-conservative party.  On October 16, the first free elections since 1923 took place. [[Horst Lommberg]] became [[President of West Besmenia|president]].
June 7th, the day on which the revolution ended and the fascist regime finally collapsed, has been a public holiday in the western states of Besmenia since 1968.
