I hope to find these answers to my questions by using traditional and non- traditional sources. .
For my first question, which was, what is terrorism? I found out that terrorism is the extreme use of violence and crimes against the person in order to achieve a political or other social aim.

I found the answer to my question by using traditional source. I used a book called " Inside Terrorism" by Bruce Hoffman. .
For my second question who were the first terrorists? I was extremely surprised by the answer. Who could of thought terrorism started way back hundreds of years ago. An American group who called themselves Ku Klux Klan (also known as KKK) were the first real terrorist. Ku Klux Klan used violence to terrorize blacks and their sympathizers in the period following the end of the Civil War in 1865 and during the 1900's. In the 1930's Adolph Hitler of Germany, Benito Mussoini of Italy, and Joseph Stalin of Russia used terrorism to discourage opposition to the governments.
