@codsorth1970: The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a violent December uprising that ended 42 years of communist rule in Romania. Unlike the peaceful revolutions elsewhere in Eastern Europe, it involved bloody street battles that killed over 1,100 people. Protests began in Timișoara and rapidly spread to Bucharest, where crowds booed dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu during a live televised speech. After the army joined the protesters and revolutionaries seized the state TV station, Ceaușescu and his wife fled, were captured, and were executed by firing squad on December 25, 1989. #romania🇷🇴 #revloution #1989 #Buharest
