separatist movements
Breakaway political efforts
Separatist movements are organized efforts by a group within a larger political entity to break away and form an independent state or join another country.
The motivation is usually ethnic, religious, linguistic, or regional identity: Quebec's separatist movement has sought independence from Canada for decades.
Such movements range from peaceful political campaigns to armed insurgencies.
