trying to make it NPOV. I would split that list of "recent separatism" into several categories explaining points of view of the "separatists" but I rather discouraged to do so, cause you'll probably will revert it back with some other reason. Not that I am very busy, but I really have more interesting things to do. Here I actually see POV of some imperialistically minded
Russian nationalists who think that the fact that Baltic states were occupied during WWII and it was recognized by many countries including USA doesn't matter, cause all separatists are the same. The same here goes I think about East Timor, as from the point of view of Indonesian nationalists it doesn't matter that independence of East timor was recognized by UN and many countries after Portuguese colonization. It is the same separatist movement as in any other country. Why not put Kuwait on same list. Their state was formed after separatist movement with help of US separated it from Iraq?
802:"movement" is about to die-out pretty soon) dissolve the union. It is nothing similiat to Quebec at all, since Quebec wants clearly to scede from the state (by ALL means I see ). I mean, if it would be similiar, then it would be something like this: "There are separatist movements in Quebec, but there are also separatist movements in every other province/territory of the country. (figurativly speaking)" since Montenegro OR Serbia don't want to SCEDE from Serbia and Montenegro, they want to dissolve it. I am very surprised that you keep mentioning Montenegro, instead of say... Montenegro and Serbia (if not Serbia and Montenegro since it's already the official name of the union). This is not a movement in which a oart of a country wants to seperate, it is a general "spiritual" presence in the Serbo-Montenegrin people of the question "should the union be kept?". Do you get me know?
750:
administered by the U.S. forces and the Kosovo
Protection Corps (second name for the Kosovo Liberation Army, since that name became far too ill-known). And if you said, which is more likely to DIVIDE: Eastern US (under California) and Western US (under Washington) [because ther is no national Montenegrin sence if they should scede from the union, only common people's doubts if it should be kept) or Serbia and Montenegro? I would've said that the United States' Dividation is more likely. I live in Serbia and Montenegro, and there are more Serbian politicians promoting dividation then Montenegrin, so if you're already putting another separatist movement, you should type "Serbia", which is more likely (althoug even that would be idiotish), plus, I don't know why you deleted the Kosovar Liberation Army. I'll add it again. OK? Now hard feelings? Please don't delete it now.

nothing self-determinative... only doubts IF they should keep toogether, so there is no poin in listing
Montenegro. Sorry about the links, I'll try that in the future (I still haven't got the hang of it) And why did you delete the Republic of Kosova? I've put some more separatist countries (The Republic of Serbian Borderland and The Republic of Kosova, respectivly)
514:"Separatism is also often a violent response to a past military takeover." This sentence is misleading, I guess, because by this definition any resistance to occupation might be considered as separatism. Therefore Baltic countries and East Timor are included into separatist list here. I'll correct that if you don't mind.
552:"then what WOULD you call separatism?" The anwer to you questions might be a question what is NOT separatism then? By your definition all states are formed because of separatism. And what does your several decades mean? How would you call movement for independence in those first decades before you call it separatism?
801:
What? No, no! You've got it good this time! (Haven't you noticed that I didn't make any changings this time?) Why should I argue with anything. And I am not making a parallel between
Montenegro and California (or Quebec). We'll leave it this way, since both countries want to (although this... OK, OK,

Oh c'mon.... which one of the following is more likely to separate: Texas, or
Montenegro? Since you don't seem to mind leaving Texas in the list but you removed Montenegro, are you saying that it's more likely and more imminent that Texas separate from the United States, than Montenegro separate from

I resisted the temptation to rewrite it myself, but unless You do so in the next several weeks, I will be forced to do it myself. The law of The

Could you please provide some more information or link? This argument was very new and surprising to me. And it skips a lot of history - Slovakia and Czech were separated between 1918 (SK was part of

I see what you're saying, that calling the independence movements of the Baltic States "separatist" is POV. But your edits simply replaced one POV with another POV, and made a special case out of the Baltic States even though there are many other states that would be equally ready to call themselves
571:
One more thing. When Soviet Union desintegrated, republics in
Central Asia didn't have any separatist movements. To call the cause of the formation of these states separatism is not correct either. And let me repeat myself "recent" does not mean anything in the title of the section and I do not see
561:
If you want to see more NPOV then let's write that communist consedered that independence movement in Baltic states was separatism, however leaders of those republics saw it as restoration of independence, because they were occupied and annexed by soviets in 1940. Plainly putting those states under
509:
What are
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, etc. doing here? They were occupied by the USSR and then regained independence, which means separatism has nothing to do with this. When Hitler occupied part of France and Denmark and Norway you don't say that they all broke off of Germany after the alliance had

You COMPLETLY missed my point.... again. Never mind that about the seven-year-old kids (by that I meants the citizens of
Montenegro that STARTED the separatist process, but nm that now) The Republic of Kosova is one of the unrecognised states (if you haven't noticed I've added it there). Kosovo is

I've deleted Montenegro from the separatists of Serbia and Montenegro, there is no organised separative movement in it. Both states have doubts and desire should the union the kept or dissolved, nonetheless it is insignificant due to the much larger number of those supporting the union. I've also

I'm relaxed. And I don't see it a big issue either. I might not have NPOV talking about Lithuania, but I find it rather strange way of collaboration here. You found that I replaced one POV with another you simply "restored" first POV as if POV which was writen earlier is more valid :) instead of

You're missing my point. Ther IS NO political group NOR a force. Let me help you out with a metaphore: Two seven-year old kids gather in their courtyard and say: "Do you think that our union should seperate?" and the other says: "i dunno"." And I said that BOTH country's peoples have doubts...

As for your example: if Germany had won the war, and had incorporated Denmark, Norway, and Austria into the Reich for several decades, and in the the meantime there arose movements for Danish, Norwegian, and Austrian independence, then yes, that would be separatism. If you don't call that

1. economic concerns are part of the separatist argments. All serious nationalist groups in Quebec argue for "the complete political, economic and cultural independence for the people of Quebec".
