And yet there are many examples (probably more, in fact) of armed and violent protests also failing to achieve their goals, or having their goals distorted. It is true that the peaceful movements of Gandhi and MLK in particular were also accompanied by an implied violence from allied groups, but at the same time there were movements (especially in India) that had tried to achieve independence via violence for well over 70-80 years, always failing.
