Paramilitarism in Colombia
Paramilitarism in Colombia refers to the origin and development of paramilitary groups in Colombia during the 20th century. Paramilitary groups, whether of private or public origin, having legal or illegal support, were originally organized during the Cold War proxy wars as small groups, being created as either a preemptive or reactive consequence to the real or perceived growing threat represented by the actions of guerrillas and militant political activitists of Marxist-Leninist ideology.
