where did pacifism originate
Pacifism is opposition to war, militarism, or violence. The word pacifism was coined by the French peace campaigner Ãmile Arnaud (1864â1921) and adopted by other peace activists at the tenth Universal Peace Congress in Glasgow in 1901. A related term is ahimsa (to do no harm), which is a core philosophy in Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism.
