The Third Estate (Commoners)
Explanation:
They were under the First Estate (Clergy) and the Second Estate (Nobility), so they got the least amount of special privileges, since they were the lowest out of the three groups.
Answer:
In 1859, a man in Solferino, Italy, watched as 40,000 people died due to a war. His name was John Henry Dunant. Dunant led a group of volunteers to help those wounded people, as hospitals were overflowing. Dunant made a pamphlet in 1862 called "a Memory of Solferino" which he told everyone about what had happened. The pamphlet ended with the plea, "Would it not be possible to found and organize in all civilized countries permanent societies of volunteers who in time of war would give help to the wounded without regard for their nationality?" His idea became well known, and a meeting was held in Geneva, Switzerland, Dunant's very own country. They discussed the formation of those societies. It was attended by people from 16 countries and many charitable organizations. They formed the idea for the soon to be Red Cross.
They persuaded their own individual governments to ratify what is now known as the first Geneva Convention. By 1869, many red cross societies were formed, and 22 countries signed the Geneva Convention. There were four Geneva Conventions all together. The first one protects victims of land battles, the second protects victims of sea battles, the third Convention protects prisoners of war, and the fourth and final convention protects enemy aliens. These principles make up over half of the international welfare laws. Their seven main principles are, Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary service, and Unity.
The modern red cross has over 200,000,000 volunteers from 135 countries. All across the world these people are working to achieve the same goal.

region.

- Almost all areas fell into the hands of the British.
- It is also important to note that non-Ottoman subjects refused to help the Ottoman Empire solely because of the nationalist attitude of the Young Turk leadership. Particularly prominent here were the Arabs over whom Cemal, the new Pasha, pursued a policy of terror.
- It frightened the Arab population, but it also increased the will to resist. The Arabs were supported by France and the United Kingdom, and at their instigation Makkah Husain uprising against the Ottoman rule in 1916 and declared himself King of Arabia in October of that year. Anything that was British or French zone of influence became a new independent state inhabited by Arabs.
- Subsequently, a "desert uprising" led by an English colonel and secret agent, Thomas Edward Lawrence, began, and so the Ottoman rule in the Arab countries was increasingly losing influence.
