national renaissance

Country's cultural rebirth

A national renaissance is a period of cultural, artistic, or political revival within a country—a collective awakening that reasserts national identity, traditions, or achievements.

The term often describes movements following periods of decline, occupation, or stagnation: The country experienced a national renaissance after independence.

It may involve renewed interest in native language, literature, and arts, or broader economic and institutional renewal.
