    Can you give one example where non-violence caused actual long standing change with 0 violence?

      Norway leaving the union with Sweden in 1905 is famously one of the very few times secession was done non-violently. But to be fair there was large political pressure from Swedish socal democrats that urged the king not to go to war and the Sweds and Norwegians liked each other and remained good friends and allies afterwards.

      Maybe if both parties start to work on the relationship and get friendly right away, then you could maybe have a peaceful resolution in 50 to 100 years time.

        Youre really going to post the most controversial study there is because they cherry picked data?

        Please give me one actual example of where the people toppled the government and enacted change… through non-violent protesting.

        Moving the goal posts yeah yeah yeah. Give me an article or proof then of 1 single thing that caused real, permanent change, like I originally asked. Not some mass “several” article.
