In early December 1989, there was civil unrest by the anti-government protesters and on 16 December the 12-day Romanian Revolution started; on the commands of President Nicolae Ceaușescu, troops fired on the protesters, however on the 22nd the army switched from supporting him to backing the protesting population.[citation needed] On 25 December, Ceaușescu and his wife Deputy Prime Minister Elena Ceaușescu were deposed, captured and executed by orders from a Drumhead military tribunal; 42 years of the Socialist Republic of Romania had ended. The revolution was the first overthrow of the ruling governmental system since King Michael's coup which he successfully staged in 1944 by arresting members of the military government which supported Nazi Germany.[citation needed]
