colonial resistance movements

Colonial resistance movements refer to the efforts by colonized peoples to oppose and challenge foreign control and exploitation. These movements emerged in response to injustices such as unfair taxation, loss of land, and cultural suppression. Activists organized protests, strikes, and sometimes armed rebellions to assert their rights and seek independence. Notable examples include the American Revolution against British rule and India’s struggle for freedom from British colonialism. These movements played a crucial role in shaping national identities and led to the eventual decolonization of many countries in the 20th century.
