 encyclopedia - Great Jewish Revolt
The Great Jewish Revolt (66–73 CE), sometimes called The first Jewish-Roman War, was the first of two major rebellions by the Jews of Judea against the Roman Empire (the second was Bar Kokhba's revolt in 132-135).
It began in 66, sparked by religious violence between the Jews and the Hellenists; it ended when legions under Titus besieged and destroyed Jerusalem, looted and burned the Second Temple (70) and Jewish strongholds (notably Masada in 73), and enslaved or massacred a large part of the Jewish population.
The defeat of the Jewish revolts against the Roman Empire notably contributed to the numbers and geography of the Jewish Diaspora, as many Jews were scattered after losing their state or were sold to slavery throughout the empire.

After brutally crushing the revolt in 135 and devastating Judea (580,000 Jews were killed, 50 fortified towns and 985 villages were razed), Hadrian attempted to root out Judaism, which he saw as the cause of continuous rebellions.
In an attempt to erase memory of Judea, he wiped the name off the map and replaced it with Syria Palaestina, as insulting reminder of Jews' ancient enemies the Philistines, long extinct by then.
He reestablished Jerusalem as the Roman pagan polis Aelia Capitolina, and Jews were forbidden from entering it, except once a year to mourn their humiliation.

 The Origins and Nature of Fundamentalism in Society by Niccolo Caldararo
In fact, comparisons are striking in some cases, for example the relationship between the USA and Iran in the post-WWII period with the rise of Mossadeq, his suppression and the ensuing installation of the Shah and the eventual rise of an organized resistance movement which produced today’s religious state.
But this clouding of the belief system with rebellion leads to considerations of other revivalistic movements which were authoritarian as well as fundamentalist, for example, Nazism.
We see this in the reaction to Hellenism which was similar in Judea as the Dead Sea Scrolls demonstrate with regard to the Essenes, Zakodites and others as we read in Josephus (Antiquities) and the documents themselves (Kahle, 1959; Caldararo, 1994a).
