Ethnic separatism can be defined as the desire by a group of people to form their own country

Ethnic separatism is the desire of a group to form its own country because its members share an identity, such as ethnicity, language, or culture. That makes the country based upon a commonality. Pride, personal freedoms, or reducing political unrest may be related motivations, but they do not define ethnic separatism.
