How do wars make people or groups become terrorists?

Destruction of Homes

  The destruction of infrastructure and homes, coupled with economic collapse, can create a sense of desperation and hopelessness.

Poverty and Unemployment

  Economic hardships caused by war can make people more susceptible to radicalization, as terrorist groups may offer financial incentives and a sense of purpose.

Psychological Trauma

  Witnessing or experiencing violence can cause severe psychological trauma, contributing to feelings of anger, helplessness, and a desire to retaliate.

Lawlessness and Anarchy

  In the absence of law and order, criminal activities and terrorism can flourish. People may join terrorist groups for protection or as a means of survival.

Anti-Foreign Sentiment

  Civilian casualties and destruction caused by foreign military operations can fuel anti-foreign sentiment and drive individuals towards terrorist groups seeking revenge.
