Do you mean to say that invasion of the Falklands by Argentina was a war of colonial liberation? If so, who was being liberated, exactly?


I’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.


Ye maybe IRA was a bad example.


Ye no I would not say it was a war of independence. But a colonial war though.
