Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rise of separatist movements indicates that all large states have a tendency to come apart. This is because such movements often arise due to cultural, linguistic or ethnic differences and the desire for autonomy or independence. This is not a reflection on the ability of humans to work towards peace, nor is it limited to southern regions or developing countries. It also does not necessarily indicate that Western Europe will dominate the globe.
