Abstract
Following the recent ceasefire declared by eta on 22nd March of this year (2006), never has it been more appropriate to look further into what the American Government has classified as one of the best-organised terrorist organisations in the world. In this essay I will explore the origins of eta and the purpose of its formation. Secondly I will look at how eta has evolved since its foundation in 1959 and investigate the changes that have taken place within the organisation itself. Following on from this I will examine eta's motives and its methods, and what it represents in the minds of the basque and Spanish people alike. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I will discuss the consequences of eta and its actions; how they have affected the basque Country, Spain, and the rest of the World. However this cannot be done without first taking into account the history of the basque nationalist movement and all that that entails.
