Q.405

ETA is a militant group created in 1959 that is considered by many countries in Europe and the rest of the world as being a terrorist organization. The group has been conducting a violent struggle against a country in order to establish an independent state for a region it claims to represent, with several bombing campaigns to its name.

It has announced and broken several ceasefires in the past, but has been observing a ceasefire since 2010 and this year announced a halt to its armed struggle.

Which country was ETA trying to split? (bonus: and for which region?)

Spain. The region is the Basque country. In fact, even France has been affected, as there is a French Basque region as well.
