Seychelles gained independence from Britain on June 29, 1976, largely due to a growing nationalist movement and demands for self-determination among its people. The post-World War II era saw a global trend of decolonization, prompting colonies like Seychelles to seek autonomy and governance. Political pressure and negotiations led to a constitutional framework that allowed for increased local governance, ultimately culminating in full independence. The desire for greater control over their resources and political future played a significant role in this transition.
