The Sunrosian Revolution of 1856, also known as the March Revolution, was a revolution in the Sunrosian Monarchy. The revolution started as a wave of unrest throughout the Monarchy in the wake of its defeat in the War of the Triple Alliance, and culminated with a popular uprising by in the former capital city of Coerz on 6 February leading the Grand Council of Coerz to proclaim Adalbert XVII as monarch and calling for the abdication of incumbent George VII William. After a period of eight days popularly known as the Longest Week, George VII William chose to abdicate and Adalbert XVII became the undisputed monarch of Sunrosia, signing the Constitutional Charter of 1856, marking the end of absolutism and beginning of constitutionalism in Sunrosia.
