The Revolution of 1701 (Revolution of 8095 ASC), which also became known as the Revolution of Dignity or in certain Wieniecian sources known as the Revolution of Hope, was a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Wieniec, which began on 04.03.1701 with large protests at Ulica 3 Maja (3rd May Street) in Victorovo. The protests were sparked by President Ołówek Memcen's sudden decision not to sign the promised Victorovo Unilateral Free Trade Agreement, instead choosing to focus more on isolationist policies. Wieniec's parliament had overwhelmingly approved of finalizing the Free Trade Agreement, but oligarchs had put pressure on the government to reject it. The scope of the protests widened, with calls for the resignation of Memcen and the Gumka government. Protesters opposed what they saw as widespread government corruption, abuse of power, human rights violations, and the influence of oligarchs. Transparency International named Memcen as the top example of corruption in the world. The violent dispersal of protesters on 2 June caused further anger.
