Resistance movement

A resistance movement is a group dedicated to fighting an invader in an occupied country. The term can also refer to any organized effort by supporters of a common goal against a constituted authority. The term resistance has political overtones, as people have used it (and historically, other terms like it) to drum up support in opposition to "foreign intervention".
