What Led Up To The Event Or Movement

Question 1

There were precedents for this switch from revolt and violence to negotiations. The ANC only turned to armed struggle in 1961 as a very last resort when it became obvious that the apartheid government would never negotiate unless forced to do so. From its birth in 1912, the ANC had been asking white South Africans simply to negotiate with the majority of South Africans on an equal footing as human beings with full citizenship rights. The idea that Umkhonto We Sizwe might force unconditional surrender was always unlikely. The real war aim of the ANC had always been to negotiate from the strength of democratic support; this goal had been achieved by 1990.
