Nonviolent protests were successful primarily because they garnered widespread public support and sympathy, highlighting social injustices without resorting to violence. This approach often drew attention from the media, helping to amplify the protesters' messages and sway public opinion. Additionally, nonviolent tactics fostered a moral high ground, making it difficult for authorities to justify violent repression. By maintaining discipline and unity, these movements were able to sustain momentum and create lasting change.
