Anti-Colonial Movements
Anti-colonial movements are efforts by countries or groups seeking independence from colonial powers that previously controlled their land and resources. These movements arise from a desire for self-rule, cultural preservation, and economic freedom, often fueled by injustices, exploitation, and inequality experienced under colonial rule. They can involve protests, negotiations, or armed resistance. Their goal is to establish sovereignty, restore national identity, and create a government that reflects the will of the people. These movements have significantly shaped modern nations and often highlight struggles for justice and self-determination worldwide.
