Purpose Statement:
To inform the class about The FARC
Thesis Statement:
To understand The FARC you have to look into their background, look at their regional familiarization, and the threat they pose towards the United States.
Introduction
Attention Getter:
People are fighting and dying every day trying to get the freedoms they feel should be given to them. The FARC has been fighting for these rights but going about it the wrong way, they use bombings, murder, mortar attacks, kidnapping, extortion, and hijacking, as well as guerrilla and conventional military action.

(Transition from into to first main point)
Knowing that The FARC is dangerous and are willing to kill to get what they want, Lets look into their history and background and see what drives them.
Main Point 1:
First we can look at when The FARC started, why they started, and who started them.
A. According to the (Council on Foreign Relations) The FARC was founded in the 1960’s after Colombia’s two main political parities ended more than a decade of political violence and agreed to share power. FARC formed in 1964.
B. They represent the rural poor against Colombia’s wealthy classes and oppose U.S. influence in Colombia, the privatization of natural resources, multinational corporations, and rightist violence is the reason they formed The FARC.
C. A few communist militants and peasant self-defense groups joined to become The FARC. Manuel Marulanda was looked at as the founder and top Commander until his death in 2008.
