Scenarios about 'Quebec sovereignty'
Quebec sovereignty refers to the political movement advocating for the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec to become an independent nation-state. This movement gained significant momentum in the 1960s-1990s, culminating in two major referendums in 1980 and 1995, with the latter nearly succeeding with 49.42% voting for independence.
