Anti-colonial Nationalism

Anti-colonial nationalism is a movement that arises in nations colonized by foreign powers, where indigenous populations seek to reclaim their independence and cultural identity. It emphasizes national unity against colonial oppression and the desire for self-determination, often motivated by a strong sense of shared history and culture. Leaders and activists advocate for political sovereignty, economic control, and social justice, aiming to overturn colonial rule and establish a nation that reflects the values and aspirations of its people. This form of nationalism has been pivotal in various global struggles for independence throughout the 20th century.
