The Betar Movement (בית"ר, also spelled Beitar) is a Revisionist Zionist youth movement founded in 1923 in Riga, Latvia, by Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky. It has been traditionally linked to the original Herut and then Likud political parties of Israel, and was closely affiliated with the pre-Israel Revisionist Zionist splinter group Irgun Zevai Leumi. One of many movements and youth groups arising at that time out of a worldwide revival of fascism, Betar was founded as an application of fascist principles to Zionism, employing the requisite political tactics of radical militarism, nationalistic indoctrination of youth, and exceptionalist propaganda to achieve the maximum degree of military strength and social unity for the establishment and perpetuation of a Jewish state. Prior to the creation of Israel, Betar trained Jewish youth in many different countries to serve as militia answering solely to Revisionist Zionist leaders rather than the British Mandate or other more left-leaning Zionists. It came to produce many of the most prominent members of Zionism and politicians of Israel, most notably Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir and Menachem Begin, the latter of which idolized Jabotinsky.
