National liberation movements

National liberation movements are efforts by a group of people within a nation or territory to gain independence or self-determination from colonial, foreign, or oppressive rule. These movements often arise in response to political, social, or economic injustices. They may employ various strategies, including protests, armed resistance, and diplomatic negotiations, to achieve their goals. Throughout history, such movements have played a significant role in shaping nations and redrawing political boundaries, as seen in countries gaining independence from colonial powers in the mid-20th century. Key examples include the struggle in Algeria and the fight for civil rights in various contexts.
