Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elite landowners and wealthy individuals in Colombia created paramilitary groups as a way to gain control over the rising violence and protect their interests. These groups were known for their brutal tactics, including targeted assassinations and massacres. However, their actions often resulted in the displacement and harm of innocent civilians, and they were officially disbanded in the early 2000s as part of peace negotiations.
