Terrorism
The use of intentional violence for political or religious purposes
Real World Example
During the Spread of Independence, particularly in the 20th century, terrorism was often used by groups seeking to gain freedom from colonial powers. These acts of violence were driven by the desire for political change and independence, as traditional methods of negotiation were not always effective. It was important at the time because it drew international attention to the causes of these groups, forcing colonial powers to address their demands. Today, terrorism still matters as it affects global security and can lead to fear and division among people. For example, the 9/11 attacks in the United States led to increased airport security, affecting how we travel and view global safety today.
