Because during the revolution no blood was shed, there was no fighting and nobody was killed. The fall of communism in Czechoslovakia occurred peacefully, or "softly." Velvet is very soft, hence the name. In Slovakia, this is called the "gentle revolution." :-)
The Velvet Revolution was the peaceful overthrow of the Communist government in Czechoslovakia in 1989, as a part of the wider collapse of the Communist regimes in Europe during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It eventually let to the dissolution of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993; however, the term "Velvet Revolution" (or, "Gentle Revolution", as it is known in Slovakia) specifically refers to the original overthrow of the Communist government, not the subsequent split of the country.
It was so smooth that it was called "The Velvet Revolution"Hope this helped! =P
The "Velvet Divorce" refers to the peaceful split of Czechoslovakia into two independent nations, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, on January 1, 1993. This separation followed a period of political negotiations and public discussions, avoiding violent conflict. The term "velvet" underscores the non-violent and amicable nature of the divorce, reminiscent of the Velvet Revolution that led to the end of communist rule in Czechoslovakia in 1989.
From Wikipedia:- Velvet Revolution - In the face of protests, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia announces they will give up their monopoly on political power.
It wasn't. Czechoslovakia was divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1992 after the 1989 Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Soviet Union.
It is referred to as the "velvet divorce".
