Like the Bahraini uprising, the Cochinchina uprising was resisted by the authorities. The citizens of Bahrain was resisted by military assaults, and the Vietnamese in Cochinchina were resisted by authorities who threatened revolutionaries with guns. However, there was no torture involved with the resistance to the Cochinchina uprising. The Singing Revolution and the Kwangju Democratic uprising are not very relevant to the Cochinchina uprising. However the Singing Revolution is close to the time of the Cochinchina uprising.
BAHRAINI UPRISING
The Bahraini uprising is a series of protests against the Bahrain government’s actions against the citizens. The government used methods such as violence and torture against the protests. The citizens attempted to remain nonviolent, and the succeeded to most of the time, but sometimes it results in violence. The government resisted with military assaults and systematic torture techniques. The uprisings resulted in multiple negative results such as the torture, injuries, and death of civilians, but it also resulted in major steps, such as international media, in destroying and the recreation of the Bahrain government. Like the Cochinchina and Kwangju uprsing, there were some casualties in these uprisings. And both the Bahraini and Kwangju uprisings involved going against the actions of the government. Cochinchina relates to this point as well because the people of Cochinchina reacted and revolted partly because of the actions the French colony took that caused the imprisonment of civilians of Cochinchina.
SINGING REVOLUTION
Like the Bahraini uprising, the Singing Revolution tried to solve their problems in a non-violent way. However, the Bahraini uprising did sometimes end up having some violence.
THE KWANGJU DEMOCRATIC UPRISING
The Kwangju Uprising was in Kwangju, South Korea on May 1980. Pro-democracy activists and university students protested against the military dictatorship that took power 1979. The citizens ignored all martial laws the dictatorship implied and barricaded the streets of downtown Kwangju. The government responded violently, with aid from the American military and the U.S. president of that time, Jimmy Carter. They used their advanced military equipment to scare the protesters, injuring more than 4,000 people and killed 200. Unlike the Singing Revolution, the Kwangju people protested in a violent approach, shoving authority and other citizens through the streets. Also, like the Cochinchina uprising some of those who revolted or protested were killed, but in Cochinchina only 51 were put to death compared to the 200 in the Kwangju uprising.
