Make Love not War

Historical Peace Movements and the Ongoing Relevance of War and Peace Since antiquity, philosophers and state leaders have grappled with the concepts of war and peace. Early on, thinkers like Plato and Aristotle recognized the destruction that wars can bring and advocated for peace as the ideal state for humanity. In the Middle Ages, the Church played a significant role in promoting ideas of peace, including through the 'Peace of God movement', which aimed to minimize wars among Christians.

The modern era saw the emergence of organized peace movements, particularly in the 19th century, when societies such as the American Peace Society and the British Peace Society were founded. These organizations advocated for the peaceful resolution of international disputes and laid the groundwork for later international cooperation to prevent conflicts.

The 1960s: A Turning Point The 1960s marked a high point of peace movements, driven by the shadow of the Cold War and the fear of nuclear annihilation. In the UK, this led to the founding of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in 1958, whose peace symbol became a global sign of resistance against war. In the USA, the Vietnam War mobilized wide sections of the population, especially young people and students, who through organizations like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and others, initiated massive protests and demonstrations against the war.

The Carnation Revolution: A Peaceful Overturn A prominent example of a successful and predominantly peaceful revolution is the Portuguese Carnation Revolution of 1974. This revolution not only ended nearly five decades of dictatorship in Portugal but also inspired movements worldwide that saw changes could be achieved through nonviolent means. The soldiers who carried carnations in their gun barrels became a lasting symbol of peaceful change and demonstrated that the military can play a constructive role in promoting democracy and human rights.

Current Situation: War and Peace in the 21st Century Today, at a time when conflicts are increasing in many parts of the world, the issue of war and peace remains of crucial importance. Regional conflicts, the risk of escalation of violence, and the humanitarian crises caused by wars call on us to learn from history and strengthen active peace efforts. The lessons from movements like the Carnation Revolution and the protests of the 1960s show that societal and international pressure can be crucial in bringing about political changes and securing peace in the long term.

The Rooftops of Alfama, Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹, 18 April 2018. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - These vibrant red tiled rooftops can be viewed from Saint George Castle. Alfama used to constitute the whole of Lisbon in 6thC. The distant bridge is the 25 April 1974 bridge in memory of the country’s “Carnation Revolution.” Its a good, nice walk going uphill to the Castle or catch the E28 tram 🚋. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #alfamadistrict #alfamalisboa #alfama #lisbonne #lisbonportugal #alchemistxfe #travelsolo #traveladventure #feelingblessedandthankful #memoriesforalifetime #igportugal #carnationrevolution (at Alfama, Lisboa, Portugal)

The 25th April 1974 Portugal gave a lesson of peace to the world. It is possible to make radical political changes without violence. It is sad to see 44 years later we have learnt nothing from Portugal and people from Syria, Yemen, Palestine... and unfortunately many more countries are suffering.

43 years ago there was the Carnation Revolution in Portugal which brought back freedom to the country. I'm very happy to never have lived in a dictatorship and am happy to celebrate the Freedom Day (Dia da Liberdade) I'm also very proud to live in a country that is so peaceful that revolutions shed no blood, only carnations 😊#freedom #Liberdade #25deabril #25deabrilsempre #revolução #revoluçãodoscravos #carnationrevolution #typedesign #typelove #typography #lettering
