Baader-Meinhof gang/Red Army Faction and the Red Brigades
(41) 
Answered by Examlex AI CopilotThe Baader-Meinhof gang, also known as the Red Army Faction (RAF), and the Red Brigades were two prominent left-wing militant groups that operated in Germany and Italy during the 1970s and 1980s.
The Baader-Meinhof gang, named after its founders Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, was a radical leftist group that carried out a series of bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings in an attempt to overthrow the West German government and establish a communist state. The group's activities led to a wave of domestic terrorism and political unrest in Germany during this period.
Similarly, the Red Brigades was a Marxist-Leninist militant organization in Italy that was responsible for a number of high-profile kidnappings, assassinations, and bombings. The group sought to create a revolutionary communist state through armed struggle and targeted government officials, businessmen, and other perceived enemies of the working class.
Both groups were part of a broader wave of leftist terrorism in Europe during the 1970s and 1980s and their activities had a significant impact on the political and social landscape of their respective countries. The Baader-Meinhof gang and the Red Brigades were eventually dismantled by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, but their legacy continues to be a subject of study and debate in the context of political extremism and radicalism.
