The situation in the 1980s had been very turbulent. As Marcos amassed power, discontent has also been burgeoning. The tide turned swiftly when in 1983, Benigno Aquino Jr., opposition leader and regarded as the most credible alternative to President Marcos, was assassinated while under military escort immediately after his return from exile in the United States. There was widespread suspicion that the orders to assassinate Aquino came from the top levels of the government and the military. This event caused the coming together of the non-violent opposition against the Marcos authoritarian regime. Marcos was then forced to hold "snap" elections a year early, and said elections were marred by widespread fraud. Marcos declared himself winner despite international condemnation and nationwide protesta. A small group of military rebels attempted to stage a coup, but failed; however, this triggered what came to be known as the EDSA People Power Revolution of 1986, as people from all walks of life spilled onto the streets. Under pressure from the United States of America, who used to support Marcos and his Martial Law, the Marcos family fled into exile. His opponent in the snap elections, Benigno Aquino Jr.'s widow, Corazon Aquino, was installed as president on 25 February 1986.
