Compare and contrast guerrilla warfare and terroris

rrorism is the systematic use of coercive intimidation, usually to service political ends. It is used to create andGuerrilla warfare and urban terrorism can be distinguished as forms of action by the intended target; the methods and tactics used by each group are often strikingly similar. Guerrilla is the one who engages in irregular warfare, especially as a member of an independent unit carrying out harassment and sabotage. Te exploit a climate of fear among a wider group than the immediate victims of the violence, and to publicize a cause, as well as to coerce a target to acceding to the terrorists' aims.
Terrorist and guerrilla groups can fall into both of these categories. “Guerrilla” means “little war” in Spanish and, typically, those engaged in guerrilla warfare are fighting for liberation of a native land from an oppressive regime; the right to fight against a foreign oppressor (and in some cases, a native one) is recognized by the United Nations. There are rules for waging an irregular war. In addition to military tactics, outlines include guidance on dealing with the local population in a respectful manner. In any case, uninvolved non-combatants are not to be engaged within the context of a pure guerrilla conflict. On the contrary: the populace is to be wooed to the side of the guerrilla force. Many terrorists also shelter with or blend into sympathetic populations
