Militant movements are organized groups that use violence or force to achieve political, social, or ideological goals. These movements often arise in response to perceived oppression, injustice, or inequality. They may operate within a specific region or country and can be driven by various factors, including nationalism, religion, or revolutionary ideals. Members of militant movements typically engage in activities such as protests, armed conflict, or sabotage. Some well-known examples include the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Al-Qaeda. While their methods can be controversial, these movements often seek to draw attention to their causes and influence change in society.
