Tensions have been increasing for many years, and open conflict could break out at any time. Now it seems that time has come. Angry mobs pour out onto the streets. Internal security forces gather. Armies and fleets mobilize for war. It looks like this can only end badly. But what's this? The leaders of the opposing sides are calling for passive resistance? Moments ago, it looked like only a long and bloody war could possibly end the long-simmering conflict, but change comes relatively peacefully instead. Sometimes violence does occur, but instead of thousands of bodies in the streets only a few hundred are seriously injured. A Subversion of the Final Battle, sometimes using a Deus ex Machina, and can be used as a Happy Ending. It can also be a Bittersweet Ending, as The Hero, The Mentor, a highly sympathetic Anti-Villain, etc. may be among the relatively few casualties or may sacrifice their home, fortune, dreams, etc., for peace. What happens after can vary: Scenario 1: It's peaceful now, but a standoff is taking place, and violence is expected. It never comes. The conflict just... ends. The sitting government and the dissents comes to a (at the very least for the most part) amicable agreement and at worst a few were trampled in the confusion. Scenario 2: A bloody war is already underway, but a relatively bloodless internal coup, unexpected surrender, etc. resolves the conflict suddenly without too many more deaths. Scenario 3: Violence occurs, and while it left bodies in the streets, a lengthy conflict is averted. A war that might have lasted several years, killed several percent of the population, and plunged the country into debt and bitterness for generations to come is resolved in a single campaign that kills only a (tiny) fraction of that number. Compare Reconcile the Bitter Foes, and (in The Other Wiki) Quiet Revolution. Contrast The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized and The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified. The Reign of Terror is what happens when it goes wrong. Often used as an Ending Trope or major plot twist, so beware of spoilers! |

V for Vendetta: The government troops are understandably uneasy about firing on the populace and an order saying they must fire never comes. V for Vendetta case is probably based on the Czechoslovakia one (see Real Life, below). Both had similar amounts of people (about 100,000) advancing on a heavily-defended central government building. In both cases, the defenders were police who avoided shooting because a) they were greatly outnumbered and b) they were police, not soldiers. | |

One story arc in Spooks has a Well-Intentioned Extremist faction attempting a palace coup against Her Majesty's Government to install a more authoritarian system. Harry Pierce's MI-5 team manages to counter them amid massive peaceful protests against the coup leaders, despite their attempts to turn the protests violent. In the end, there are only two casualties (one MI-5 analyst murdered by the coup faction and one protester shot by a police officer misled by them), and the bad guys all land in jail. | |

In the Farsala Trilogy, this is one of the Hrum army's policies. After conquering a nation in a lengthy war that all but destroyed both armies, the Hrum made a law that they can only have one year to conquer another country by force. When the year is up, victory is granted to the defending country. | |

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice the final case, Turnabout Revolution, has Queen Garan sic her guards on everyone who had gathered their to protest her regime and its corrupt criminal justice system. Apollo Justice and the defense team are literally held at gunpoint. Naturally, as this game is still about lawyers, the Queen is defeated not by violent means, but by Apollo exposing her inability to channel spirits. This makes her an illegitimate queen according to Khura'inese law. Afterwards, her niece, the fourteen-year-old Rayfa, takes over the throne, with her older brother Nahyuta acting as her regent until she's old enough to rule. | |

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fanfic The First Tile ends with one of these. Prime Minister Odan was aiming to resolve things bloodlessly by coming out of hiding and making a speech supporting sweeping reform of the Trill government, but it quickly escalates when The Azure Guard decides to try and assassinate her and Dr. Crusher in full public view. There are still plenty of deaths and casualties, but the revolt is thankfully brief, with the monarch's son and an old general deciding enough is enough and ordering a stand-down. | |

This is a potential ending to the geth/quarian conflict, which has already resulted in massive casualties on both sides, provided Shepard made the right choices in Mass Effect 2 and kept the loyalty of both Tali and Legion. If not, the fight ends with either the quarians or the geth being completely wiped out. | |

Mass Effect 3: This is a potential ending to the geth/quarian conflict, which has already resulted in massive casualties on both sides, provided Shepard made the right choices in Mass Effect 2 and kept the loyalty of both Tali and Legion. If not, the fight ends with either the quarians or the geth being completely wiped out. Choosing the Control ending with a Paragon Shepard or the Synthesis ending results in this, with the conflict just abruptly stopping once Shepard becomes the new consciousness directing the Reapers or all life in the galaxy becomes techno-organic, respectively. |

In The Marvelous Land of Oz, General Jinjur's Army of Revolt, comprising entirely of women tired of doing house chores, overtake the Emerald City and force the Scarecrow to abdicate the throne using nothing but sewing needles and relying on the fact that Oz's (single person) army Wouldn't Hit a Girl. A few people get poked with needles but that is the extent of the violence. Later in the story, the armies of Glinda the Good surround the city in a standoff (who are not only women themselves but formidable fighters, unlike Jinjur's army), but Jinjur surrenders without violence, allowing the rightful Princess Ozma to take the throne. | |

In Heat Guy J, Daisuke's brother Shun takes over the city of Judoh and places it under martial law. The various Mafia factions, as well as an underground group from the Absurdly-Spacious Sewer fight his forces in the streets (actually, just one, Kabuki Road, the entertainment district). Meanwhile, Antonia helps Daisuke infiltrate the government building, and he fights Shun with both words and martial arts. Yes, things got violent, but not as violent as anyone In-Universe expected, and the events appear to cover only a day or two. | |

The ending of The Matrix Revolutions, in which the war against the machines ends in something of a draw. The machines agree that anyone who wishes to leave the Matrix is free to do so. Of course, according to Morpheus's speech in the first film, most adults aren't likely to leave the comfortable virtual prison for the grim underground reality.

This is mostly because they started out as an insurgent cell doomed to failure, won a one-in-a-million death-wish battle that surprised themselves, and just rolled with it until they conquered the entire world. They've been growing up for the past decade and started playing the part of The Empire once they realized nobody would want to tear them down if they stopped being so fascist. | |

Kingdom (2019): Chang's ousting of the Queen is relatively quick and bloodless. First, he tips the scale of balance by diverting the Queen's army away from the city and smuggling his own men inside. Once there, they seal off the gates and trap the Queen inside with no army left. Court officials promptly defect to the Prince's side and arrest all of the Queen's remaining loyalists. With that, the Queen is rendered completely defenseless and Chang is able to take back his throne with minimal loss of life on both sides. That is, until the Queen pulls one last card from under her sleeves... | |

The Trickster's Duet has this as a series premise. The raka could take back their country from the luarin but the war would be so long and bloody they'd probably destroy themselves trying. Instead they hid their royal family as a minor house for centuries, until eventually their descendants were in a position to inherit the luarin throne. Meanwhile, they create a huge, complex underground resistance to handle the political and social revolution needed for a biracial woman to rule their country and free the slaves. A few battles are fought and people are killed, but all-out war is avoided. | |

On Babylon 5, the Earth - Minbari War ends when the Minbari, who had been winning very handily, inexplicably surrendered. The real explanation is that the Minbari discovered that Minbari and Human souls are one and the same, and realized in horror that they were slaughtering their distant kinsmen. Also, the Shadow War is ended when Sheridan's "Now get the hell out of our galaxy!" speech convinces the Shadows and Vorlons that neither of them can truly win: the younger races might be destroyed, but they can no longer be manipulated. Rule of Three: In the climactic battle of the Earth Alliance Civil War, a massive fleet of Omega-class destroyers are arrayed defending the Sol system under Clark-loyalist General Lefcourt. Sheridan's rebel fleet is much smaller, but is backed by a larger force from the League of Nonaligned Worlds. Neither leader really wants things to end in a bloodbath, but they won't back down either. Fortunately, Sheridan is able to arrange for several Shadow-augmented telepaths seen in a previous episode to be smuggled aboard Lefcourt's key warships, drawing them out of position and crippling their engines. With the loyalist fleet thus occupied, the rebels jump directly to Earth. Clark, knowing the jig is up, kills himself before the loyalists can get back into the fight. |
