Puerto Rican Revolution

The Puerto Rican Revolution refers to a series of political and social movements advocating for Puerto Rico’s independence from the United States, which has controlled the island since 1898. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, various groups have sought greater autonomy, with some supporting complete independence and others favoring enhanced self-governance. Key events include protests, strikes, and political actions aimed at asserting Puerto Rican identity, culture, and sovereignty. The movement reflects ongoing debates about nationhood, colonial status, and the island's future political relationship with the U.S., highlighting a complex struggle for self-determination.
