Most people know that 9/11 and the attack in England a couple of years later were bad terrorist attacks……so I thought that since I do like me some history that I would look for the top terrorist attacks and put it in my post……
When World War I broke out in Europe in 1914, the American government officially stayed neutral, and while many in Washington and along the eastern seaboard harbored strong feelings for the United Kingdom, the U.S. government found it hard to convince the general American population of the war’s benefits, mostly due to the presence of a massive German population in the republic’s middle section (America’s first “silent minority,” the Germans encompassed roughly one-tenth of the entire population of the U.S. in 1914).
To make matters worse, the German government established the first terror cell in the United States in 1915, two years before the two countries would officially go to war with each other. The German terrorists were targeting munitions factories, horse farms, and railroads due to the fact that the United States, while officially neutral, was sending massive amounts of supplies to the British and French.

Terrorism has been a tactic for centuries….nothing new just the weapons employed to carry out the attacks. History is full of terrorism….that is if one has the time to research the topic.
There is rarely anything ‘new’ when it comes to killing people.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yep but to listen to some it is a whole new thing….chuq
If you consider it terrorism or resistance is just in the eye of the beholder!
From a personal opinion..I look it as state sponsored terrorism……chuq
