Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel, is the
nickname of an anonymous man who stood in
front of a column of Chinese tanks the
morning after the Chinese military forcibly
removed protestors from in and around
Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989.
Several hundred civilians had been shot dead
by the Chinese army during a bloody military
operation to crush a democratic protest (most
of which were peaceful) in Peking's (Beijing)
Tiananmen Square the previous day.

This man was a
PACIFIST –
what do you
think this
means?
PACIFISM
1. The belief that war and
violence are unjustifiable
under any circumstances, and
that all disputes should be
settled by peaceful means.
2. The refusal to participate in
war or military service
because of such a belief.
A lot of religious people class themselves as pacifists. There are a
number of religious organisations who oppose war and try to
achieve world peace in a non-violent way.
How can
PACIFISTS
achieve peace in
a non-violent
way?
• Education - educating both sides to help them settle differences
• Teaching forgiveness - through religious teachings
• Encouraging pacifism - getting others to follow their lead
• Speeches - speaking out against injustice
• Campaigning (marches, protests, sit ins, petitions etc) - against
injustice and app restive governments
• Keeping people informed - showing people around the world of
injustice in certain areas
• Reconciliation - Getting both sides to talk to each other and
encouraging a truce.
