|type of villain = White Supremacist Hate Group}}{{Quote|You have reached the WAR Hotline. White Aryan Resistance. You ask: What is WAR? We are an openly white-racist movement. Skinheads, we welcome you into our ranks; the federal government is the number one enemy of our race. When was the last time you heard a politician speaking out in favor of white people? ... You say the government is too big; we can't organize. Well, by God, the SS did it in Germany, and if they did it in Germany in the thirties, we can do it right here in the streets of America. We need to cleanse this nation of all nonwhite mud-races for the survival of our own people and the generations of our children.|Message on the "WAR Hotline" from founder Tom Metzger}}

'''White Aryan Resistance '''(also known by its initials '''WAR''') is a [[White Supremacy|white supremacist]] [[Hate Groups|hate group]] that is considered a leading organization within the [[White Power Skinheads|white power skinhead]] movement. They were named for a newspaper they read that was published by [[Tom Metzger]], a former [[Ku Klux Klan]] Grand Dragon in California. Founded in 1980 as the White American Political Association, Metzger changed the name in 1983 as the group's focus shifted to social revolution, as opposed to electoral campaigning. He promoted the group on a public access cable show called ''Race and Reason'', and by the late 1980s was recruiting skinheads to his cause.

In 1990 the group faced legal trouble when members of a Portland skinhead gang called East Side White Pride, which was part of the alliance, murdered an Ethiopian immigrant named Mulugeta Seraw. Seraw's family sued WAR for 12.5 million dollars, which were paid in WAR's profits and Metzger's residence. Despite this, WAR continued publication, and made a website in 1997 which is still up to this day.

The group is no longer active, their logo, symbolism, and imagery are still used by the [[Alt-Right]].<ref>https://hatepedia.ca/symbols/historical</ref>
