Terrorism is the deliberate use of violence against innocent civilians in order to achieve political goals. It is typically carried out by non-state actors, such as terrorist groups, but may also involve state-sponsored terrorism. Military action refers to the use of force by a nation-state's armed forces, typically against another nation-state or non-state actors engaged in armed conflict. Political action may involve nonviolent methods, such as lobbying or peaceful protests, or more aggressive tactics, such as civil disobedience. An uprising refers to a sudden and often violent rebellion or revolt against an established authority or government. While terrorism may be a component of an uprising, it is not the same thing as an uprising in and of itself.
