Revolutions of Independence

Revolutions of independence are major political movements where colonies or territories seek to become separate, sovereign nations from their colonizers or ruling powers. These revolutions often arise from desires for self-governance, cultural identity, economic control, or reaction toings unfair treatment. They typically involve organized efforts like protests, negotiations, or conflicts to overthrow colonial rule and establish a new, independent government. Examples include the American Revolution (1775–1783) and Latin American wars of independence in the early 19th century. These movements shape nations' histories, leading to new political boundaries and emphasizing the importance of self-determination.
