Scenarios about 'separatism'
Separatism refers to the advocacy for political independence or autonomy of a territory from a larger political entity, often based on ethnic, religious, linguistic, or cultural differences. Throughout history, separatist movements have emerged from colonial resistance, ethnic nationalism, and perceived political or economic marginalization. These movements have significantly shaped modern geopolitics by redrawing borders, creating new nations, and challenging concepts of state sovereignty and national identity.
