Selamat Revolution

Selamat Revolution was a violent armed conflict that happened between June 6 to October 2, 1920 that led to the end of the Cahaya dynasty and the creation of the Republic of Cadasa. The revolutionaries, led by the future Six Fathers of Cadasan Independence, reached the Cahaya dynasty capital Selamat on June 6, after sporadic but brutal fighting in the rest of the kingdom. For the next two months, there was vicious warring on the outskirts of the city  between the republicans and the monarchists. On August 12, the revolutionaries entered Selamat. The revolution intensified and the entire capital was put under a state of emergency as many residents moved out due to the fighting. Whole streets were littered with bodies. There were also disease outbreaks. Nothing however, deterred the revolutionaries from creating a republic. On September 29, an election was held to decide the president of the new republic. On October 2, 1936, the republic was declared as the Cahayan king abdicated, unable to see any more killing.

The revolution has been turned into songs, movies, books, and art. June 6 is celebrated as Revolution Day, and October 2 is celebrated as Independence Day.
