The strategy of tension (strategia della tensione) is a theory that Western governments during the Cold War used tactics that aimed to divide, manipulate, and control public opinion using fear, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, agents provocateurs, and false flag terrorist actions in order to achieve their strategic aims.
The theory began with the cold-war Soviet hoax document called US Army Field Manual 30-31B, where the term was first published. It was made more broadly dispersed by an Italian parliamentary committee, and later popularized by Swiss academic Daniele Ganser.
