"White Terror" refers to a series of violent political movements aimed at suppressing perceived threats to the established order, often targeting leftist groups. This term is most commonly associated with the period following the Russian Revolution of 1917, where anti-Bolshevik forces, known as the White Army, fought against the Red Army in a civil war. The term has also been used in various contexts, including the Chinese Civil War and the Spanish Civil War, where similar anti-communist sentiments led to widespread violence. In addition to these historical contexts, "White Terror" can describe actions taken by governments or groups to eliminate political opposition through intimidation, violence, or repression. This phenomenon has occurred in various countries, including Italy during the early 20th century and Chile under Augusto Pinochet. The term highlights the struggle between different ideologies and the lengths to which groups may go to maintain power.
