Thanks for the responses. The collapse of the Soviet Union and it’s vassal states does not seem to apply to the US. Maybe the Spain is the closest analog?

@AlaskaWx Although not completely bloodless, Greece transitioned from a military junta to its current government but lead to the current situation in Cyprus

@AlaskaWx Argentina military dictatorship stepped aside in 1983. Brazilian military dictatorship lost an election in 1985 and left control.

@AlaskaWx

I'm not sure, but I think we are heading towards fire and brimstone at the current moment. I fear it's going to get much worse before any good arrives.

@AlaskaWx

Spain with la Transición.

As well as Portugal's Carnation Revolution, which was already mentioned. And which had the additional aspect of starting to happen while Salazar was still alive.
