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 Nationalism.png]] 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 American Revolution started, another somewhat successful separatist movement happened in 1755 in the form of the Corsican Republic, which declared independence from the Republic of Genoa. It lasted until 1769 when [[File:Cball-France.png]] France invaded and annexed it.

In 1860, South Carolina declared indepedence from the [[File:Cball-US.png]] United States. Several other states did the same in 1861. These separatists formed the [[File:Cball-CSA.png]] Confederate States of America. This large separatist attempt in North America was crushed a few years later in 1865.

From 1917-1922, in the aftermath of World War I, many separatist movements and revolutions happened across Europe. Some of these included [[File:Cball-Finland.png]] Finland (separated from [[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia), [[File:Cball-Yugoslavia-old.png]] Yugoslavia (separated from [[File:Cball-AustriaHungary.png]] Austria-Hungary), [[File:Cball-Bavaria.png]] Bavaria (separated from [[File:Cball-Germany.png]] Germany but rejoined), and many others. A lot of these had their roots in [[File:Ethnonat.png]] [[Ethnic Nationalism]], [[File:Cultural Nationalism.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism]], and [[File:Soc.png]] [[Socialism]].
