Answer:
The correct answer here is: This tactic has been used throughout history to draw attention to causes.
Explanation:
Unfortunately, all throughout human history, not just in recent times, fear, and violence, have been used as weapons to move people politically and ideologically, from one side to the other. In ancient times, empires like the Greeks and Romans used their military power to force people to see things their way. Emperors, like Nero, or Caligula, to name a few, used both fear and violence to maintain the loyalty of their people to themselves. During the Middle Ages, this was also the norm. Feudal lords, and especially kings of newly arosen kingdoms, would use force, and fear, to maintain their people under their rule and not be challenged. In more recent times, after the French Revolution, Napoleon also used violence and fear to maintain people loyal to his political ideals for France, and avoid an upraisal of the earlier deposed heirs to the throne. During the Russian Revolution, fear, and violence were also used to maitain people´s loyalty towards the beliefs and principles of Communism, even when many had seen through them and wanted a change. Like these, there are many examples that show why the correct answer here is the one given above.
