4. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries there have been three main types of guerrilla wars.
Yjey have been directed against foreign occupants. Guerrilla warfare has been the favorite tactic of separatist, minority movements fighting the central government. Guerrilla warfare against the native incumbents has been the rule in Latin America and in a few other countries.

But the national, patriotic element has always been heavily emphasized even if the domestic rulers were he target; they were attacked as foreign hirelings by the true patriots fighting for national unity and independence.

Most guerrilla wars are nationalist/separatist, not Marxist/Leninist
