Question

why was the revolution in czechoslovakia called the \velvet revolution\?
○ because it was peaceful and nonviolent
○ because the soviets invaded to try to stop it
○ because it was followed by a divorce
○ because it was supported by people across eastern europe

Explanation:

The Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia was named so because it occurred with minimal violence and was a peaceful transition of power. The option "because the Soviets invaded to try to stop it" is incorrect as the Soviet Union did not invade during this revolution. The option "because it was followed by a divorce" refers to the separation of Czechoslovakia into Czech Republic and Slovakia later, which is not the reason for the name "Velvet Revolution". The option "because it was supported by people across Eastern Europe" is also incorrect as the name is related to the peaceful nature of the revolution within Czechoslovakia, not the support from other Eastern European countries. The correct reason is that it was peaceful and nonviolent.

Answer:

A. because it was peaceful and nonviolent
