There are several different factors that govern how hard a country fights to keep a part that wants independence and how hard that part fights back. When a region expresses a desire for indepencence, the reaction of the government of the parent country is based on the answers to several questions.
Natural Resources: Does the region supply a natural resource, the loss of which would create a hardship?
Type of government: Which matters more: the desire of the ruler or ruling body or the desire of the majority of the people?
International respect: Would those countries with which a favorable relationship is desired respond better to a reaction of belligerance or a reaction of benevolence?
Motives for independence: How flexible is each side regarding the issues creating the desire for independence?
Burden or asset: Has the territory been a burden? Would we be better off without them?
Learn from history: How have other countries in similar situations in the past reacted, why, and what was the outcome?

The independence movements in Vietnam and Algeria after World War II shared a common struggle against colonial rule, as both nations sought to liberate themselves from French colonial control. Both movements were marked by protracted and violent conflicts, with significant involvement from nationalist groups that rallied popular support. Additionally, both countries faced international dynamics during the Cold War, as their struggles were influenced by broader geopolitical tensions and the quest for decolonization. Ultimately, both Vietnam and Algeria achieved independence in the 1960s, albeit through different paths and outcomes.
The Sarajevo War, part of the Bosnian War (1992-1995), was fueled by ethnic tensions and the disintegration of Yugoslavia. The immediate catalyst was the rise of nationalism among Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), Serbs, and Croats, leading to conflict over territory and political power. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 symbolically marked the city's historical significance and foreshadowed the violent struggles that emerged in the 1990s as different ethnic groups sought control and independence. The war resulted in severe humanitarian crises and ethnic cleansing, particularly targeting Bosniaks.
