War of Independence

From Includipedia, the inclusionist encyclopedia

The term War of Independence is generally used to describe a war occurring over a territory that has declared independence. 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 subsequently known as a war of independence. Examples include:

Algerian War of Independence American War of Independence Angolan War of Independence Bangladesh War of Independence Dutch War of Independence Eritrean War of Independence Estonian War of Independence Greek War of Independence Guinea-Bissau War of Independence Haitian Revolution Hungarian War of Independence Indochina Wars French-Indochina War Vietnam War Cambodian-Vietnamese War Sino-Vietnamese War Indonesian National Revolution Irish War of Independence Israeli War of Independence Latvian War of Independence Lithuanian Wars of Independence Mexican War of Independence Mozambican War of Independence Palestinian War of independence
