Was there ever a nation to come from fascism without a war or a revolution?

Not sure if this fits the description but Greece seems to have done it pretty well in 74

But in November 17th of the previous year, a riot had occurred which ultimately resulted in the end of the military junda.

Fair - I wouldn’t call it a war though. Not even a revolution as such. It was a riot as you say, with a clash where 40 individuals estimated killed.

Do you count nonviolent revolutions?
RockBottom@feddit.org 1 month ago
Nonviolent revolution, like street protests and strikes etc. is just another word for plain and simple democratic change - so yes, absolutely.

In that case, the nonviolent People Power Revolution ended 20 years of Ferdinand Marcos’s dictatorship

Jesus, that’s depressing, considering how long Franco was in power.
Rump might live off McDs but he also doesn’t drink and gets regular movement (can you call golf exercise?) Its very possible he could plague us for another ten years.

Not historian, but Spain/Portugal are likely the example you’re looking for.

The Portuguese had class conscious troops, so it stayed peaceful, while being called a revolution.

They were mostly fedup with being forced to fight in the African colonies, but yes.

Oh, yes!
