Partisan movement

A partisan movement refers to a group of individuals who actively support a specific political cause or party, often through organized actions, resistance, or guerrilla warfare. This term is especially associated with groups that opposed occupying forces or authoritarian regimes during conflicts, such as during World War II, where partisans fought against Nazi occupation. Partisan movements typically arise in contexts of oppression, seeking to promote their political ideals and gain independence or autonomy. They often rely on popular support and can play a significant role in shaping political landscapes and outcomes.
