anticolonial movements

Anticolonial movements are efforts by colonized people to gain independence from foreign powers that control their land and resources. These movements emerge when communities seek self-determination, cultural identity, and political sovereignty, opposing colonial rule's economic exploitation and social domination. They can involve protests, negotiations, or armed resistance, and often reflect a desire to establish governments that represent their own people rather than foreign interests. Ultimately, anticolonial movements aim to reclaim autonomy and build nations based on their own values and aspirations.
