Edsa Revolution (February 22 – February 25, 1986), or the People Power Revolution was a four-day series of non-violent mass demonstrations that toppled the Marcos administration and installed Corazon Aquino as president in 1986. The revolution, which ran from February 22 to February 25, was considered as the forerunner of nonviolent demonstrations around the world such as those in Eastern Europe and Africa. The revolution was named after Epifanio de los Santos Avenue or EDSA, where the majority of the protests took place.
