The largest guerrilla group in Colombia during the 1970s was the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Founded in 1964, FARC grew significantly in strength and influence throughout the 1970s, capitalizing on social and economic inequalities in rural areas. The group sought to establish a Marxist-Leninist state and engaged in various forms of armed struggle, including kidnappings and attacks on government forces. Their activities contributed to the ongoing internal conflict in Colombia, which persisted for several decades.
