Independence as a concept originated in various forms throughout history, but it gained significant prominence during the Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in Europe and the Americas. Key events, such as the American Revolution (1775-1783) and the French Revolution (1789), marked the rise of independence movements where colonies and oppressed populations sought self-determination and freedom from colonial or authoritarian rule. These movements were influenced by Enlightenment ideals of liberty, equality, and democracy. As a result, the idea of independence spread globally, inspiring numerous nations to pursue self-governance and sovereignty.
