Tupamaros (Movimento de Liberación Nacional) (Uruguay) A socialist urban guerrilla organization named after the eighteenth-century Inca revolutionary against Spanish rule,
Tupac Amaru, founded by Rául Sendic in 1963. It sought to overthrow an increasingly repressive state through bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations, and thus became a model for other socialist guerrilla forces in Latin America. They were suppressed by the military in the 1970s, however, and in 1985 agreed to form a legitimate political party.
