If you count failed attempts the Falkland war and IRA comes to mind.
- int_19h 3y agoDo you mean to say that invasion of the Falklands by Argentina was a war of colonial liberation? If so, who was being liberated, exactly?
- runarberg 3y agoI’m also having a hard time seeing how the IRA “failed”. The Good Friday Agreement brought both Civil Rights and equal political representation for Northern Irish Catholics. It also gave a political avenue for further decolonization (including their ultimate goal of reunification with Ireland), making more terrorist activities kind of unnecessary. I would consider that a pretty good results of violent resistance against your colonizer.
- rightbyte 3y agoYe maybe IRA was a bad example.
- rightbyte 3y agoYe no I would not say it was a war of independence. But a colonial war though.
