1. South Africa was a country were the people were segregated because of their race for more than a century. The white population was controlling everything in the country, while the black population was left on the margins without any particular opportunities in life. With the international pressure increasing, and several organizations pressing for ending of the Apartheid, the black population saw an opportunity to get their rights, so they started to organize, protest, and ask for support. Eventually this resulted in the white population giving up under the pressure and granting the black population all the rights it deserved.
2. During the Apartheid, there were numerous killings and lot of injustice done toward the black population just because of the skin of their color, thus because of racism. The revolt was big of course, and the black population wanted not just to get its rights, but also revenge. Now that kind of scenario would have easily led to a civil war, so millions of people would have suffered and died, so it is here where the Peace Commission stepped in. The Peace Commission was trying its best to balance the things, to lower the tensions between the two groups, and everything to be sorted out through peaceful negotiations, all in order a bloodshed to be avoided.
