Why was the Carnation Revolution so named? Does #1 imply that no lives were lost? Did the Revolution take place in Europe? Is #2 or #3 negative?
Carnation Revolution
The Carnation Revolution was initially a 25 April 1974 military coup in Lisbon which overthrew the authoritarian Estado Novo regime. Its name arose from the fact that almost no shots were fired, and Celeste Caeiro offered carnations to the soldiers when the population took to the streets to celebrate the end of the dictatorship; other demonstrators followed suit, and carnations were placed in the muzzles of guns and on the soldiers' uniforms. Portugal is a country located mostly on the Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe.
