Anti-imperialism

Anti-imperialism is opposition to one people or state dominating another politically, economically, or militarily. It includes movements seeking national independence and critiques of imperial power.

Haitian Revolution: The 1791–1804 revolution in Saint-Domingue that ended slavery and established Haiti as an independent state. Its defeat of French colonial rule became an early landmark of anti-imperial resistance.
Nationalism: A political principle that identifies a nation as a community entitled to self-government. Anti-imperialist movements often use national self-determination to justify independence.
Toussaint Louverture: A leader of the Haitian Revolution who organized forces against slavery and French colonial rule. His leadership made the struggle in Saint-Domingue a defining anti-imperial revolt.
Imperialism: A policy or system through which a state extends power over other peoples or territories. It names the domination that anti-imperialism opposes.
Algerian War: The 1954–1962 war between France and the Algerian independence movement that ended French rule in Algeria. Its outcome became a major case of armed resistance ending a European colonial empire.
Latin American wars of independence: The early nineteenth-century conflicts that ended Spanish and Portuguese rule across much of Latin America. These independence movements challenged European imperial authority across a continent.
Self-determination: The principle that peoples should determine their political status and pursue their development. It supplies a central political claim against rule imposed by an imperial power.
Mahatma Gandhi: An Indian political leader who organized mass nonviolent resistance to British rule. His campaigns made nonviolent noncooperation a prominent anti-colonial strategy.
Colonialism: A system in which a power establishes and governs settlements or territories beyond its borders. Colonial rule is one form of imperial domination, but imperial power can persist without formal colonies.
Partition of India: The 1947 division of British India into the independent states of India and Pakistan. The end of British rule brought independence alongside mass displacement and communal violence.
