The correct answer is "The transition was remarkably smooth."

The "Velvet Revolution", also known as the "Gentle Revolution", was a non-violent transition in power in Czechoslovakia in 1989. Popular demonstrations among different groups in Czech society against the government of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia erupted on November 17th, 1989 and resulted at the end of this party's rule on December 29, 1989, after 41 years of communist rule in Czechoslovakia.
