YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This video traces the complex and controversial history of terrorism, from its origins during the French Revolution to its global evolution through anarchist movements, anti-colonial struggles, fascist regimes, religious extremism, and nationalist insurgencies. Featuring figures like Vera Zasulich, the IRA, al-Qaeda, and the Ku Klux Klan, it explores how terrorism has been used as both a tool of oppression and a weapon of resistance.

Discover how the meaning of terrorism has shifted across time and context—and why defining it remains so politically charged today.
