collaborationist groups

Collaborationist groups are organizations or individuals who work with an occupying power or enemy during a conflict or occupation, often to advance their own interests. They may provide support such as intelligence, resources, or enforcement, sometimes at the expense of their own community or country’s resistance efforts. These groups are usually controversial because their actions can undermine national sovereignty, resistance movements, or moral values, and they often face moral and political condemnation. Their role varies depending on historical context, but generally, they are seen as facilitators of an occupying regime rather than supporters of national independence.
