Resistance to imperialism took many forms, ranging from armed conflict to passive resistance. In India, figures like Mahatma Gandhi advocated for nonviolent protest against British rule, emphasizing civil disobedience and the promotion of self-reliance. In contrast, other regions, such as Algeria and Vietnam, experienced violent uprisings against colonial powers. These resistance movements often inspired national identity and a renewed sense of pride among colonized peoples, ultimately contributing to the independence movements of the 20th century.
