Detailed explanation-1: -guerrilla warfare, also spelled guerilla warfare, type of warfare fought by irregulars in fast-moving, small-scale actions against orthodox military and police forces and, on occasion, against rival insurgent forces, either independently or in conjunction with a larger political-military strategy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Often, guerrilla warriors (often just referred to as guerrillas) are attempting to overthrow an existing government or are rebelling against a much larger, organized military (although in some cases, guerillas fight against rival insurgent forces).
Detailed explanation-3: -Although originally used to combat foreign invaders, guerrilla warfare has developed into a formidable tool against domestic dictators. One example of guerrilla warfare against a dictator was the Cuban insurrection led by Fidel Castro against President Batista that began in 1956.
Detailed explanation-4: -Guerrilla warfare (the word guerrilla comes from the Spanish meaning “little war”) is often the means used by weaker nations or military organizations against a larger, stronger foe.
