War of independence

A war of independence or independence war is a conflict occurring over a territory that has declared independence from some nation-state or ruling colonial power. Once the state that previously held the territory sends in military forces to assert its sovereignty or the native population clashes with the former occupier, a separatist rebellion has begun. If a new state is successfully established, the conflict is usually known as a 'War of Independence'.

gollark: Your resource allocation thing, though - you don't seem to actually realize what "scarce" means?
gollark: So if you like potatoism, say, you can go live in a potatoist society somewhere and not bother antipotatoists. The issue with *that* is external costs - how do you handle those, without some sort of giant overarching state?
gollark: And live there.
gollark: Well, yes, one of the things I'm interested in would be some mechanism for allowing people to choose their preferred societal structure somehow.
