Separatism: Difference between revisions

Separatism has, in theory, existed for as long as civilization. Independence movements and separatist revolts have been around since the dawn of humanity. The most notable separatist movement was the [[File:American NationalismAmericanNat.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|American Revolution]] from 1775-1783 as it marked the first time a European colony successfully separated from it's master, starting the Age of Revolution.

Two decades before the [[File:American NationalismAmericanNat.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|American Revolution]] started, another somewhat successful separatist movement happened in 1755 in the form of the [[File:Cball-Corsica.png]] [[Constitutionalism|Corsican Republic]], which declared independence from the sea-faring [[File:Cball-Genoa.png]] Republic of Genoa. It lasted until 1769 when Corsica was invaded and annexed by [[File:Cball-FranceKingdom.png]] France.
