Imagine you’re in a big school, and some kids are being treated unfairly. You want to leave the school and start your own, that’s like fighting for independence. Countries do this when they feel unfair treatment or lack of freedom from another country. They fight so they can be their own group with their own rules.
Examples
- A group of kids in school decide they don’t want to follow the rules of their teachers anymore, they start their own class.
- People in a village are tired of paying high taxes to the city, so they leave and create their own town.
- A country that was ruled by another for many years finally decides it wants its own government.
