Armed struggle

Armed struggle refers to the use of military force or violent resistance by groups seeking to achieve political, social, or ideological goals. This often occurs in contexts where groups believe that negotiation or peaceful protest has failed or is impossible. Armed struggle can involve guerrilla warfare, insurgency, or organized conflict against state forces or occupying powers. It is typically seen in conflicts related to independence, civil rights, or liberation movements. While proponents view it as a necessary means for justice or self-determination, opponents often criticize it for resulting in violence and loss of life.
