guerrilla movements

Guerrilla movements are groups that engage in irregular warfare, often against a larger, conventional military or government force. They use tactics like ambushes, sabotage, and hit-and-run attacks, relying on small, mobile units that blend into the civilian population. These tactics aim to disrupt and undermine the opponent’s operations while gaining support from local communities. Guerrilla warfare often arises in situations where traditional armies face significant disadvantages, and it can be a strategy for groups seeking political change or independence from occupying forces. Examples include the Viet Cong in Vietnam and the Zapatistas in Mexico.
