World National Liberation Movement

The historical movement of colonial, semi-colonial people and all oppressed nations against colonialism, imperialism and hegemonism, for national independence, the struggle for national liberation and the protection of national independence. It mainly included the American War of Independence, the revolutions of independence in Latin America, the revolutionary storm in Asia, and the national democratic movements in Asia, Africa and Latin America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the national liberation movements in Asia and Africa after World War I, the struggles of the Asian and African peoples against fascism in the 1930s, the national independence movements in Asian and African countries in the early years of the post-World War II period and the national liberation movements in Asia, Africa and Latin America in the 1960s to the 1990s.

The world national liberation movement is marked by the nature of bourgeois democratic revolution, which included both bourgeois and proletarian leaderships. Bourgeois leaderships often only strive for national independence, while the proletarian leadership often embarks on the socialist road of development after achieving national independence. After the victory of the October Revolution, the national liberation movement became an important component part of the proletarian socialist world revolution.

After the World War II, the national liberation movement rose unprecedentedly and with the independence of countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and other regions, the world colonial rule basically collapsed. At present, many Third World countries have entered a new historical stage of consolidating their political independence by developing their national economies and improving comprehensive national strength. Their new task includes to oppose neo-colonialism, which is more indirect and covert, such as economic plunder, political control and military intimidation, and sometimes includes direct military aggression, and to safeguard national union and unity, political independence of their country, to develop national economy and to strive for economic autonomy.
