On 17 November 1989 riot police beat a peaceful student march on Národní třída in Prague. Within days hundreds of thousands filled Wenceslas Square and Letná, jingling keys, and a general strike followed. The regime gave up power without a shot being fired, and on 29 December 1989 Václav Havel was elected president. 17 November is a public holiday: the Day of the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy and International Students' Day.
