What are the world’s leading independence movements? Across the planet, there are numerous territories and groups seeking independence. Many are small and little known. However, some manage to attract considerable international attention. But while their names may be familiar to many people, the issues at stake may not be so well-understood.

In this second part, I continue my brief guide to 20 of world's leading independence movements, campaigns, conflicts and disputes. I cover a range of de facto states and separatist movements and look at the leading contenders to be the next member of the United Nations from across Africa, Oceania, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. As well as looking at the origins of the cases, I also look at where they currently stand, and where they might go in the future.
