Top5 ForYou's video: Top 5 Biggest Protests in the History

Number 5: The Salt March In 1930, India was still under British rule and at the time there were many who were against the British and sought peaceful ways of protest. Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi preached of civil disobedience – a way of acting out against the British colonizers in non-violent ways. In March of 1930 Gandhi decided to stand up to the British colonizers by acting out against the salt tax. At the time the British were taxing salt production. While the movement did little for the independence movement or the rights of Indians, it did prove to the British that they remained in control of India only as long as the Indians allowed it. Number 4: Tiananmen Square. In 1989, China was just coming through a period of economic growth and political liberalization and the students in China wanted more. In 1986 and 1987 students began holding demonstrations asking for more individual rights and freedoms. To this day the Chinese government suppresses any information about what really occurred and commemoration of the incident is banned. Number 3: Arab Spring. The Arab Spring is hard to classify as just one movement as it occurred in numerous countries and in many different forms. It started in early 2011 with the political uprising in Tunisia. The success of the uprising led to more anti-government protests in other Arab countries. The protesters sought an end to long-standing dictatorships, brutal regimes, unemployment and rising prices. The Arab Spring was characterized by the ability of social media to be used as a method for organization. Protesters were able to use the internet to coordinate gatherings and work against the government. Number 2: The Million Mask March. In November 2013, a coalition of protest movements, headed by the mysterious “hacktivist” collective Anonymous, held demonstrations and occupations which have received limited media coverage despite the spectacle of several million people donning Guy Fawkes masks to highlight opposition to austerity, extreme inequality and increased state surveillance. Guy Fawkes, also known as Guido Fawkes, was a member of the English Catholics who planned the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Many observers claim that the Million Mask March is the largest protest ever recorded, though it remains to be seen if it is the most influential. Number 1: Iraq War Protest. In 2003 public opinion around the world was against the Iraq war. From 2002 until 2003 the world erupted into thousands of protests as people spoke out in their individual countries against the U.S. decision to invade Iraq. Between January 3rd and April 12th, 2003 it is estimated that more than 36 million people around the world took part in more than 3,000 protests. Despite the massive protests against the war, nothing was accomplished. Many politicians argued that public opinion was actually in favor of the war and that the number of people at a protest was not an indicator of public opinion.
