Terrorism is essentially pyschological warfare, usually committed by radicals of often controversial ideologies or political parties, such as the IRA (Irish Republican Army), or ISIS. It’s important due to the sheer amount of casualties it can cause and the emotional impact it can have on a nation/population. Terrorists feed off fear and work to disrupt everyday life and create a sense of insecurity in order to achieve their goals. Once a country cannot function normally due to terrorism, and its leaders submit to terrorist’s demands (done to achieve a political agenda), that is when they win.
