Though there have been plenty of Intifadas throughout history, this one stands as one of the deadliest.
The First Intifada began on December 8, 1987 when an Israeli army tank somehow got into an accident with Palestinians at the Erez Crossing who lived on the Gaza strip at the Jabalia refugee camp which killed four and seriously injured seven others.
However, the Palestinians believed that this was no accident, as a few days earlier a Jewish man was stabbed to death in a nearby location.
With this and long record of hostility between the Palestinians and Israelis, riots started to erupt in various locations.
For a pretty long time, the Palestinians and the Israelis have had nothing short of bad history.
During the First Intifada, the Palestinians were outraged that Israelis were occupying Palestinian territories, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. They say that the Israelis had been deporting and executing Palestinians.
Because of this, people began to gather and decided to show their disapproval at the Jabalia refugee camp, which then lead to various other uprisings in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
Even though by the end of it all 2,326 were dead, the riot did start out very peaceful.
The riots began to die down in 1991, was the Palestinians weren't getting anywhere and a clear direction was no longer in site.
Palestinian people were being slaughtered each day, and the Palestine Liberation Organization was losing members. However, the Intifada did change numerous things.
For one, the decision to combine Palestinian areas with Jordan was no longer considered.
The rioting also brought about plenty of international discussion as to who should own the Gaza Strip and various other locations.
4.1984 anti-Sikh riots - 3,000 dead
The 1984 anti-Sikh riots took place the day Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards. The riots led to more than 3,000 deaths.
There was complete collapse of law and order in the national capital Delhi. Riots took place in Kanpur and Bokaro.
The riots were fuelled by continuous telecast of Indira Gandhi's dead body by the national state-owned broadcaster Doordarshan, with mobs baying for blood by shouting slogans "Khoon ka badla khoon se lengey".
Rajiv Gandhi, who was sworn in as the Prime Minister after his mother's death, when asked about the riots had remarked: "when a big tree falls, the earth shakes".
Armed mobs looted shops and houses owned by Sikhs, attacked gurdwaras, and killed hundreds of people in different parts of the capital. Army had to be called in to restore normalcy, but by that time, the damage had already been done.
Thousands of Sikh women became widows. It is alleged that the killings were organized by some political leaders in the capital owing allegiance to the ruling party.
The Government of India reported 2,700 deaths in the anti-Sikh riots. The Government of India reported 20,000 had fled the city, however the PUCL reported "at least" 50,000 displaced persons.
In 2011, Human Rights Watch reported the Government of India had "yet to prosecute those responsible for the mass killings".
The 2011 WikiLeaks cable leaks revealed that the United States was convinced about the complicity of Indian Government ruled by the Congress in the pogrom, and termed it as "opportunism" and "hatred" of the Congress government against Sikhs.
