White Terror

White Terror refers to a period of violence and repression typically initiated by right-wing groups or state authorities against perceived political opponents, often following a revolution or civil conflict. It aims to eliminate leftist or revolutionary movements through intimidation, arrests, and executions. The term has been used in various historical contexts, including post-Revolution France, early 20th-century Russia, and China after the Nationalist victory over communists in the 1920s. Ultimately, White Terror represents a backlash against progressive change, where fear is used to consolidate power and suppress dissent.
