why did freedom movements continue after Independence movements succeeded?
Successful independence groups were led by Europeans
European states continue to colonize the Middle East
Some groups, such as women, continue to be excluded from the political process
Freedom movements, focused on self determination, which still hadn’t been achieved
Some minority groups may not have been granted full rights or autonomy after independence
Economic disparities and social injustices persist even after political freedom is achieved
Government corruption and abuse of power may still be present, leading to continued calls for reform
Desire for further democratization and decentralization of power within the newly independent states
