Name two countries were remained as French overseas territories which later had popular movements towards self -government.

Answer 1

Two French overseas territories that experienced popular movements towards self-government are:

1. New Caledonia: This territory in the South Pacific has had a significant independence movement, particularly among the Kanak people, leading to referendums on independence from France in 2018 and 2020.

2. French Polynesia: This group of islands in the South Pacific has also seen movements advocating for increased autonomy and self-governance, with various political parties supporting the idea of full independence from France.

Both regions have a history of seeking more control over their political and administrative affairs.
