>July 13, 1793, when Carolina Corday stabbed Jacobin tribune John Paul Marat,

you can conventionally considered as the beginning of terrorism in society industrialism.

It is in this formation terrorism radiates a particularly lush.
Why? The causes are complex.

The power of the state and the complexity of its structure calls into question the chances of success of an uprising or a palace coup (were reminded of that even tirelessly Blanquists),

while the progressive breakdown of traditional ties pushes a unit (especially medium class, intellectuals and peasants) to individual action. Urban character of civilization, forced to engage in "guerrilla warfare" in the cities, which helps to technical progress.

Media, providing rapid and widespread information, create public opinion, and it allows terrorists from using "indirect strategy".

As rightly pointed H. Hartwig:

"It is difficult to imagine Genghis Khan's offering into the hands of terrorists XII century in exchange for Mongolian women and children captured in a hostage or Frederick II of Prussia shaken by news of the fate of kidnapped stagecoach passengers ".

Of course, the reason is simply the growing importance of the public authority that enforces the "humane" and "ethical" behavior.

And another factor. As Daniel Pipes points out, the Enlightenment is the time the flowering of all manner of luscious secret societies ( "Secret associations multiplied in the four decades after 1750 ..."),

while the peak intensity of the myth of secret societies accounted for the period 1815-1848.

Some of these organizations are preparing a political conspiracy, not refraining from assassination.
