CAUSES: The RAF believed that Germany's lawmakers were continuing authoritarian policies and was seen as a continuation of the indoctrination the Nazis had pioneered in society. The Federal Republic was exporting arms to African dictatorships, which was seen as supporting the war in southeast Asia.
GENERATIONS:
The first generation involved the student movement of 1968.
The second generation involved radicals such as Ulrike Meinhof and Andreas Baader.
The third generation was a group of young people who felt they could show their radical beliefs by commiting terrorist actions.
END OF THE RAF:
The last big action by the RAF took place on June 27, 1993, and a internal secret service agent infiltrated the group and arrested the leaders.
SIMILARITIES:
I believe the attacks by the RAF were not as severe as modern terrorists attacks, but the RAF targeted Germans, and todays terrorists target other countries. Todays terrorists do not want their governments to change but they just want to target the worlds most powerful countries.
