capitulations
Acts of yielding
Capitulations is the plural of capitulation, meaning acts of surrendering or giving in.
A military force signs a capitulation when it agrees to stop fighting.
More commonly, the word describes yielding to pressure or abandoning a position: After months of resistance, the company's capitulations to union demands began.
The term often carries a note of criticism—implying weakness or excessive concession.
