Scenarios about 'home rule'
Home rule refers to the principle of self-governance or autonomy granted to a region or territory within a larger sovereign state. Historically significant in British imperial politics, it was particularly associated with Irish political movements seeking greater autonomy from London in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
