Peaceful independence

There is a common assumption that independence fromthe UK is difficult to achieve, and armed revolt is often necessary. In fact, this is a myth – since 1948, 48 countries have been granted Independence by the UK – all except 2 (Kenya and Yemen) peacefully. Since 1776, 89% of countries gained their independence peacefully.
