Abstract

Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA) was a separatist organisation that operated in the Basque region of northern Spain and southern France from the late 1950s until 2011. ETA was a nationalist group that employed terrorist tactics to achieve territorial and political autonomy for the Basque Country. Between 1968 and 2011, ETA was responsible for killing around 840 people and wounding approximately another 2,500 (Whitfield, 2015: 4). ETA emerged out of the Basque nationalist movement, which was based on the ethnic and cultural uniqueness of the Basque people and a rejection of the nation-building policies of the Spanish central government. The nationalist movement gained force after the Spanish Civil War, in particular in response to the repressive regime of General Francisco Franco.
