The correct answer is: The transition was remarkably smooth.

"Velvet Revolution" refers to the peaceful, nonviolent nature of the November–December 1989 overthrow of Communist rule in Czechoslovakia — a swift, largely bloodless transfer of power (led by figures such as Václav Havel and the Civic Forum).
