Where are the legendary fighters for peace?

How can one possibly fight for peace? Already the word "fighting" has a military connotation. Do you see the oximoron here? \nSomebody mentioned Neville Chamberlain here. A peace fighter? How noble. Are we to forget that he almost let Hitler have his way? How are you to reach your peace with someone like Hitler, or his modern equivalents? Your only way would be to first fight them, and then when you won the war, force them to peace. That is why it is so rare to find a peace fighter. Most of so called peace factions, when you really and honsetly think about it, encourage you to basically cave in to the side that started the agression in the first place, thus excluding the possibility of true peace. \nThis is not to say that what you seek doesn't exist. You just need to change the formulation. No peace fighter with its inherent contradiction, but peace seeker. And you can find those noble heroes who hoped to find peace. \nNestor was, for example, a Greek hero king, who at first urged the Greeks to turn away from the siege of Troy.\nIn the modern times we can probably mention Ghandi, with his passive resistance movemen, that eventually won him and India the independence they have been hoping for, without bloodshed. \nSo, look for heroes who were peace seekers instead, but not for peace fighters. For the most part, those who proclaim themselves to be peace fighter, do whatever they do against the benefit of their people. They are consequently not considered heroes, and history doesn't carry their memory forth. This is the reason for your difficulty, I believe.\nWe all remember Hamilkar and his renown son Hannibal, who, to gain peace for their country, fought against the Roman, but we cannot recall the names of the elders of Carthage who pushed for what they called peace, and was really submission. We cannot remember them, and why the heck should we? In spite of their declaration, they weren't true peace fighters, their political opponents, father and son both, were. So, basically, a hero who works for peace, has occasionally to start a war. In our imperfect world, it couldn't be otherwise. This is why your search couldn't be successfull as one would hope for. Hope this helps.

You should do more research on the UN. They don't get any publicity when they are successful. They have prevented many civil wars since the 70's, such as Crete, Haiti, etc.

There are lots; many more than could be listed here in any sort of reasonable manner.  The vast majority of them you'd have never heard of unless you were a micronations trivia buff.  \n\nSome of them, like Sealand, the Kingdom of Lovely, or Minerva are quasi-well known - mostly though they exist only in the minds of their King/President/Grand-High-Muckity-Muck.\n\nNote too, that these countries are generally recognized by nobody - not the UN, not the US, not the EU, Canada, China, or any other place.  Some of them have established 'treaties' with other micronations and recognise each other - often to the exclusion of recognizing UN-recognised countries.\n\nThose are the only 'countries' that are not recognized as such by the UN and others.  There is also a classification of 'proto-states' which have much more legitimacy than the micronations, but due to forces historical, military, or political, arn't currently recognised as anything more than Countries-in-Training, or nations within a state.  Some of these (though it's not an exclusive list, and there is wide disagreement on what to include and what not to include) are: Taiwan, Palestine, Tibet, Kurdistan, Gibraltar, and others.\n\nVery occasionally (as with East Timor) these proto-states will eventually break free of whatever is holding them back and achieve recognition.
