* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'':
** 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 ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' and kept the loyalty of both Tali and [[spoiler: 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.

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.

* In ending route [[GoldenEnding 4B (Égalité)]] of ''VideoGame/AviaryAttorney'' an ugly escalation on both sides is averted, reason prevails, and the lawyer heroes go to prosecute and punish [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating the King of France]] preemptively to satisfy the revolutionaries. The [[spoiler: Warhawk saboteurs who so badly want a bloody revolt]] are the only casualties, even when explosives are used.

* UsefulNotes/{{Chile}}'s transition from dictatorship to democracy in the late 80s/early 90s. Pinochet ended up recognizing the results of the referendum on his rule (he lost) and about a year later, a new president (Patricio Aylwin) was elected. It's still discussed, however, whether Pinochet ''actually'' recognized the results as the "best" way out, or ''only'' did it because the dictatorship had lost almost all support in the world and wouldn't survive if he refused to back down.
