Since I am posting this in the Cafe...let's please not do any discussion of politics or left & right, etc.
Here is the one simple question I am trying to research:
Has there ever been a case where terrorism was defeated by the use of military action? Can a standing army "defeat" terrorists?
Terrorism was rampant in Northern Ireland for decades. Now, that seems to have stopped. How did it get defeated?
There have been many cases of invading armies facing relentless terrorism from the local population (WWII French resistance, etc.). I don't think any of the examples like that were "defeated" by the invading armies.
Anybody got meaningful events for me to start the research on this?
Links to internet sources would be especially appreciated!
