Political Independence

Political independence refers to a country's ability to govern itself without undue influence or control from external powers. It means making decisions about laws, policies, and leadership based on the country's own interests and priorities, rather than being directed by another country or foreign entity. Achieving independence often involves gaining freedom from colonial rule, oppressive regimes, or foreign interference, allowing a nation to establish its own government, set its policies, and pursue its development freely. It is a fundamental aspect of sovereignty, emphasizing self-determination and autonomous authority within international relations.
