independence referendums
Independence referendums are votes in which citizens decide whether their region or territory should become a sovereign, independent country or remain part of a larger country. They are a democratic process used to resolve issues of self-governance, national identity, or political autonomy. The outcome reflects the will of the people on key questions about sovereignty and governance structures. These referendums can lead to significant political changes, including the creation of new nations or increased regional authority, depending on the results and subsequent negotiations.
