National Liberation Movements are groups that seek to gain independence for a nation or region from foreign control or colonial rule. These movements often arise when people feel oppressed or marginalized by an outside power, leading them to fight for their rights, culture, and self-determination. Examples include the Algerian War of Independence and the Vietnamese struggle against French colonialism. These movements can take various forms, including peaceful protests, armed resistance, or political negotiations. Leaders like Nelson Mandela in South Africa and Mahatma Gandhi in India have played significant roles in inspiring their nations to seek freedom. Ultimately, National Liberation Movements aim to establish a sovereign state where people can govern themselves.
