Briefly, it is defined that after the emergence of the term, in 1850, terrorist actions were linked to anarchist movements – “Propaganda by action” -; in 1930, State Terrorism emerged, defined as practices of mass oppression employed by authoritarian governments; from 1940 onwards, Revolutionary Terrorism, linked to anti-colonialist movements, and later with a separatist nature; in 1979, Radical Islamic Terrorism emerged; and in the 1990s, narco-terrorism and the gray area phenomenon emerged.
