The worldwide organization of the Red Cross stems from the idea of Henry Dunant, a Swiss banker. In 1838, at the age of 10,Dunant was taken by his father go visit a prison. There he saw prisoners chained together exercising in the yard and breaking stones along the road. This experience left a deep impression on him and made him determined to do something for convicts and slaves and for all who were oppressed and deprived of their liberty. On June 24, 1859, while on his way from Geneva to France, Dunant witnessed the baffle between the French and Austrian armies. It was one of the fiercest battles of the 19th century. Shocked by the lack of medical supplies and attention given to the wounded, Dunant decided a volunteer service had to be organized. He gathered together a number of women who tended the hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities and helped the surgeons as best they could. After that battle, Dunant was determined to form a body of people who would rally together in times of war and attend to the needs of the wounded and dying. Dunat held that a suffering human being should be helped for his own sake without regard to race, Many European states supported him and on August 22, 1864, the first Geneva Convention religion or political beliefs. was signed. This laid down that once a soldier is wounded, he and everyone who comes to his help cease to be an enemy. A symbol by which the relief workers could be recognized was devised. As a tribute to Switzerland, the symbol was the Swiss flag reversed, that is, a red cross on a white ground. So the Red Cross was born.
