Why did freedom movements continue after independence movements succeeded?

Some groups, such as women, continued to be excluded from the political process.

European states continued to colonize the Middle East.

Freedom movements focused on self-determination, which still hadn’t been achieved.

Successful independence groups were led by Europeans.

Additionally, economic and social inequalities persisted after independence was achieved, leading to further grievances and the need for continued movements for civil rights and economic justice. Many newly independent countries also struggled with governance and the establishment of stable political systems, leading to ongoing struggles for democracy and good governance. In some cases, new challenges such as ethnic or religious conflict emerged after independence, prompting the need for further movements to address these issues. Overall, the fight for freedom and justice is a continual process that does not end with the achievement of independence.
