Scenarios about 'nonviolent resistance'
Nonviolent resistance refers to organized civilian-based methods to achieve social, political, or economic objectives without using violence. This approach has been employed throughout history in movements led by figures like Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and during events such as the Velvet Revolution, often involving tactics like civil disobedience, boycotts, and mass demonstrations. In alternate history scenarios, nonviolent resistance movements can represent crucial turning points where different tactical choices might have led to dramatically different outcomes for revolutions, independence movements, or regime changes.
