Solidarnosc Movement was a nonviolent movement that faught againts their communist goverment at the time, the movement officially started when the goverment took the parlementary elections away; it took three decades to establish the Solidarnosc as an organization and movement in 1980.
Solidarity still had roots in trade unionism which exposed the communist regime to its false claim of a free work state. In the end the movement created its own alternative political space where people could flourish. Both their nonviolent decipline and their self imposed limitations played a big part with their peaceful transfer to power in 1989. But despait their efforts and achievements the organization was crushed in december 1981.
The movement never took a violent turn which was decided by deliberation.
Solidarnosc movement itself  was not very organazied nor did they have enough power to overtake their communist goverment comepletly, the people managed to bring together millions of people but just by the unions existens underscored how bankrupt the poeple were because of the communist system.

1945 - 1952

The Chinese Communist Revolution, was the conflict, led by the Communist party and Chairman Mao Zedong, that resulted in the important announcement of the creation of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

The announcement ended the costly full-scale civil war between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Nationalist Party, which broke out immediately following World War II and had been preceded by on and off conflict between the two sides since the 1920’s.

The CCP originally existed as a study group working within the confines of the First United Front with the Nationalist Party.

Chinese Communists joined with the Nationalist Army in the Northern Expedition of 1926 to rid the nation of the warlords that prevented the formation of a strong central government.

This collaboration lasted until the “White Terror” of 1927, when the Nationalists turned on the Communists, killing them or purging them from the party.

This revolution was very important because it played a big role in why China is a communist country now. This is relevant because it greatly affects the worlds economy, since China is a major exporter.

This singing revolution happened between three countries: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, between 1987 and 1991.

About 2 million people joined hands to make a continuous hand chain, across three countries Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, to protest for independence against the Soviet Union, also while singing.

This resulted in the Independence of the three countries while also motivating other countries to do so, and in this time 12 other countries indepezised from the Soviet Union, and eventually leading to the fall of the Soviet Union, in 1991.

It's considered a peaceful revolution as the president of the soviets implemented a policy called glasnost, meaning that they could protest calmly without the government interrupting, which lead to no deaths or gunshots in this protest.

We learned from it that there is no need of violence if everything is treated correctly and calmly for an independence to happen.

The velvet revolution happened in the Czechoslovak Republic at that time. It began in 1977 when a student group launched a manifesto, where they expressed their total conflict with the communist regime.

This revolution is considered peaceful, since they decided to use words, instead of weapons and violence. In fact that's why it got that name. In 1990 the first democratic elections were held.

From this revolution we can learn that it is not necessary to use violence to achieve something, and that words are much more important.

Hungarian Revolution, popular uprising in Hungary in 1956, following a speech by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in which he attacked the period of Joseph Stalin’s rule.

Encouraged by the new freedom of debate and criticism, a rising tide of unrest and discontent in Hungary broke out into active fighting.

Rebels won the first phase of the revolution.

On November 1, 1956,  Imre Nagy declared Hungarian neutrality and appealed to the United Nationsfor support, but Western powers were reluctant to risk a global confrontation.

On November 4 the Soviet Union invaded Hungary to stop the revolution.

Nagy tried to restore peace and asked the Soviets to withdraw their troops. The Soviets did so, but Nagy then tried to push the Hungarian revolt forward by abolishing one-party rule. He also announced that Hungary was withdrawing from the Warsaw Pact (the Soviet bloc’s equivalent of NATO).

Nagy was executed for treason in 1958.

Thousands were killed and wounded and nearly a quarter-million Hungarians fled the country.

Voice of America radio broadcasts and speeches by President Dwight D. Eisenhowerand Secretary of State John Foster Dulles had recently suggested that the United States supported the “liberation” of “captive peoples” in communist nations.

Orange Revolution / Ukraine / November 2004 to January 2005.

This revolution was a series of protests and political events that started in the aftermath of the presidential election and what caused the revolution was electoral fraud and corruption.

There was a Revote in the Presidential elections and Viktor Yushchenko had the most votes.

In the orange revolution, violence didn’t exist. It was peaceful for 21 days and looked like a rock concert audience waiting for the show to begin.

We can learn from this revolution that the people were mad at the electoral fraud and they wanted a revote to reelect their president.
