Answer 1

Modern revolutionary terrorism reached its zenith in the 1960s and 1970s. It was a global movement expressing dissatisfaction in the wake of anticolonialism. Western policy and the United States' international economic system fell under intense scrutiny, and tensions caused by the Vietnam War fanned the flames of heated political behavior. Small ideological groups appeared in Central and South America, and revolutionary groups emerged in Europe. Guerrilla movements spawned ideological spin-offs. The East–West confrontation came into play as the former Soviet Union supported its own revolutionary groups while Maoist rebellions gave a new twist to old Leninist ideologies. Japan experienced unique forms of violence that combined ideology and religious elements.
