It took place in late December of 1989. The fighting began to end [[Nicolae Ceauşescu]]'s control of the [[Communist state]]. In 1989, similar revolutions ended Communist governments in other countries in Eastern Europe. Revolutions in [[Czechoslovak Socialist Republic|Czechoslovakia]], [[Polish People's Republic|Poland]], and [[People's Socialist Republic of Albania|Albania]] were peaceful, but in Romania, the revolution was violent and led to the deaths of many, including Ceausescu.
