Japanese New Left
The New Left in Japan began simultaneously with the British and American movements and rose to prominence in the country by occupying college campuses for several years in the 1960s. After 1970, they splintered into several violent terrorist groups including the United Red Army who tortured their own members and the Japanese Red Army which murdered civilians and hijacked aircraft. They also invented the political ideology of Anti-Japaneseism.
