The term War of Independence is generally used to describe a war occurring over a territory that has declared independence. Once the state that previously held the territory sends in military forces to assert its sovereignty or the native population clashes with the former occupier, a separatist rebellion has begun. If a new state is successfully established, the conflict is subsequently known as a war of independence.
Examples include:
Guerra de la Independencia | מלחמת עצמאות | 独立戦争 | Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog
