Sometimes, when writers feel the need to avert Terrorists Without a Cause, they use this stock motivation, where the members of a guerrilla/insurgent/terrorist/freedom fighter/resistance/etc. movement and/or organisation justify their actions by claiming they want foreign occupiers to leave their nation. This is both Truth in Television and Older Than Feudalism, dating at least back to the 1st century BCE with the Sicarii zealots in Roman-occupied Judea. A rather peculiar case of this trope occurs with some Animal Wrongs Groups, who claim humans are occupying the Earth despite the fact that humans also originate on Earth. Compare to its sister trope, War Comes Home, which is the event that leads up to this scenario existing as a homeland is attacked and eventually conquered by a neighboring power, but it can also be the consequence when the liberation of your home leads to another attack from either the same regime or from an opposing one trying to do what they did. If the characters are in La Résistance, they may also invoke this trope and eventually play this straight. Compare Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters, a trope about moral grayness applicable to this motivation. No Real Life Examples, Please! |

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch, the True Way movement on Cardassia equates Federation and Bajoran aid movements with cultural imperialism, accusing them of attempting the final destruction of traditional Cardassian culture, and using terrorism to try to force them offworld. Also, on Trill, unjoined political groups come to see the Trill symbionts as a manipulative race of overlords controlling Trill society; after all, the Joined hold all the positions of overt political authority, and as far as some unjoined are now concerned, the humanoid Joined are puppets of the symbionts. | |

Colonel Kurtz describes this in Apocalypse Now. In his haunting speech to Captain Willard, he claims that the reason why America is eventually going to lose the war is that to America, the war isn't a matter of life and death — the Americans viewed Vietnam as a matter of containing Communism in the larger Cold War, while the Vietnamese wanted the Americans out of their country so much that they were willing to do whatever it took to win. Kurtz commends them, saying that if he had even so much as 10 divisions (about 100,000-200,000 troops) of men like that willing to do whatever was necessary to win, then the Vietnam War could be won with alarming speed. | |

Andor: The people of Ferrix were content to mostly ignore the Empire's slide to fascism and increasing authoritarianism, along with their own complicity in the Empire's domination of the galaxy (as the life blood of the Ferrix economy is constructing and refurbishing the Empire's ships), as long as they were left alone. When the Empire is no longer content to lease out administration of Ferrix to a Mega-Corp and sets up an occupation on Ferrix, tensions quickly boil over and it only takes a few months before it turns into outright violence. As Maarva says they've "been sleeping" but once the occupation starts in earnest they soon lose patience with outsiders trying to interfere in their way of life. | |

This is ultimately revealed to be the motives of the Charr in Guild Wars, seeking to drive out the humans who occupied the ancestral Charr homeland of Ascalon. Also the motives of the centaurs in Guild Wars 2, again seeking to drive humans out of their ancestral homeland of Kryta. | |

Also in Caprica, Tauron is occupied by foreigners. Many people fled the planet to richer Caprica to become an underclass. Many of the Tauron-derived gangsters want to help their homeland... but a few don't care, only seeing how much profit can be made. | |

This is the motive of the Al-Samad terrorist group in Alpha Protocol. which is clearly not based on Al-Qaeda. Though surprisingly, their leader is portrayed as something of a Noble Demon, genuinely being honest with Thorton about his ties to Halbech. If he hadn't shot down an airliner, he might be considered a heroic character. If you let him live, he assists you in taking down Alpha Protocol, and then goes right back to his terrorist activity without zero qualms. | |

The 100 has the Grounders view the Sky People as invaders who must be cast out or destroyed. The Sky People aren't trying to occupy anyone, but they lack the means to return to space, and while on the ground they keep making reckless, poorly-thought-out decisions that antagonize the Grounders. By Season 3, the Sky People and The Grounders (or at least the Tree People) have reached a peaceful coexistence. | |

Subverted in Monty Python's Life of Brian, where the Jewish zealots are too busy squabbling amongst themselves (when the Romans aren't correcting their grammar) to do much. They also have a hard time even deciding what they don't like about the Romans. For that matter, they don't even know how to properly tell the Romans to fuck off. | |

Discworld geopolitics as described by A.A. Pessimal. The logic is simple; the Klatchian armed forces, if ever concentrated together for an all-out attack on Ankh-Morpork, are so numerically vast as to make any resulting conflict a Curb-Stomp Battle. Whilst Vetinari - bankrolled by all the spare money that has been building up over the generations in the Ramkin family vaults - has been investing in qualitatively superior fighting ships and even an Air Force, he far prefers cheaper and more indirect means of deterring Klatch from any repeat of the Leshp business. For one thing, he doesn't want an over-strong Army getting ideas about a change of Patrician. Therefore, Ankh-Morporkian foreign policy is directed towards causing so much trouble for Klatch in its outlying debatable provinces, and in ensuring small states on its borders are adequately armed. Resistance movements in rebellious provinces receive Ankh-Morpork-made weapons with the serial numbers filed off. The net result is that those superior Klatchian numbers are nullified by its armed forces having to be split across up to nine or ten troublespots and in staring contests across problematical borders. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, the resistance against the Garlean occupiers in neighboring Ala Mhigo serves as a subplot through much of the main story, until an extremist unleashes a Primal in a False Flag Operation which forces the Eorzean Alliance to finally take an active role in the conflict, thus setting off the events of the Stormblood expansion. Meanwhile, another resistance in the far eastern land of Doma rises up against the Garlean occupiers there as well, only to be brutally crushed; during the course of the Stormblood story, the Alliance decides to send aid to the Doman resistance (in the form of the player) in order to force the Garleans to split their attention between the two fronts, a plan which ultimately succeeds in liberating both nations. | |

In the Europa Universalis expansion InNomine you'll get two kinds of these types of rebels: "Patriots" seek to have areas of a certain culture defect to another state with that culture. (eg. french patriots in provinces owned by the Netherlands will try to defect to France) Nationalists support a particular nation-state, and either want to defect to that state if it exists or recreate it if it doesn't. | |

This is also the main source of conflict in The Promise comic book continuation. After the war ends, the Earth Kingdom forces all Fire Nation colonies out, only to discover that after generations of living there, people are less than willing to leave (especially the many mixed families). Eventually, they make these areas new neutral zones, neither belong to Earth or Fire. The largest of these becomes Republic City. | |

Skyrim: The Stormcloaks are fighting to rid Skyrim of the Empire. In some respects, it's taken even another level deeper by The Empire itself, as, in the aftermath of the Great War, a humiliating peace treaty forced them into making large concessions to the Fascist Aldmeri Dominion, including allowing them to police the Imperial countryside and persecute Imperial citizens for worshiping Talos, the "Ninth Divine" and Deity of Human Origin whose divinity many elves refuse to acknowledge and who the Thalmor that lead the Dominion absolutely hate. Appropriately, The Empire treats the Stormcloak Rebellion as an attempt to undermine their efforts to stand up to the Thalmor. The Dominion is secretly encouraging both sides to fight and maintain a stalemate specifically to keep the Empire too weak to stand up to them. The Reachmen, the tribal inhabitants of the Reach in western Skyrim, have been resisting any and all groups who attempt to claim the Reach dating all the way back to the First Tamriellic Empire. While their successes waxed and waned over that time, they experienced a resurgence during the Great War, successfully capturing the Nord city of Markarth and holding it for two years while the Empire was preoccupied. Though a Nord militia would eventually drive them out, they hold strong in the countryside of the Reach as the "Forsworn", led by Madanach, with their numbers swelling. |

Komarran terrorists in the Vorkosigan Saga, a rare case where the protagonist is one of the occupiers. The circumstances leading up to the occupation also involve a lot of Grey-and-Grey Morality (A generation before Barrayar invaded Komarr, the Komarrans had enabled a Cetagandan invasion of Barrayar, which caused the next example). The Barrayarans themselves, including Miles' grandfather, fit this trope themselves a few generations before the books in question. |

A fairly prominent part of the in-universe history in Dragon Age: Origins, where Big Bad Loghain's personal xenophobia and Paranoia Fuel largely stems from his time as a La Résistance fighter struggling to throw the Orlesians out of Ferelden. Although he's shown to be right in at least one occasion that Orlais will try to conquer Ferelden again. | |

Star Trek Novelverse: The Terok Nor trilogy chronicles the Cardassian occupation on Bajor from beginning to end, including the rise of the Resistance. Captain Mackenzie Calhoun of Star Trek: New Frontier fought in the Xenexian resistance against the Danteri before joining Starfleet following liberation. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch, the True Way movement on Cardassia equates Federation and Bajoran aid movements with cultural imperialism, accusing them of attempting the final destruction of traditional Cardassian culture, and using terrorism to try to force them offworld. Also, on Trill, unjoined political groups come to see the Trill symbionts as a manipulative race of overlords controlling Trill society; after all, the Joined hold all the positions of overt political authority, and as far as some unjoined are now concerned, the humanoid Joined are puppets of the symbionts. |

Pathfinder: Authoritarian Molthune wants to control neighboring Nirmathas and considers it a breakaway province. The ruggedly individualistic Nirmathans rebelled to kick them out and continue to fight to keep them gone. In the River Kingdoms, Brevoy was conquered by Restov a couple hundred years ago. In the Kingmaker adventure path (and the CRPG adaptation), the player characters' patron Lady Jamandi Aldori's main motivation is to create allies she can call on for an independence war. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) features Sonic as the leader of the Freedom Fighters, a closely-knit resistance force attempting to overthrow the dominion of Dr. Julian Robotnik, a genius dictator who has already conquered most of the planet Mobius and turned it into a cold, urban, metal nightmare. All of the conquered peoples are forced to undergo roboticization - a process that turns living creatures into automatons that serve his empire as forced laborers. | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, a combination of this and revenge is the motivation for Jet's freedom fighters. They're portrayed less than positively, due to their willingness to kill even civilians to reclaim their land. This is also the main source of conflict in The Promise comic book continuation. After the war ends, the Earth Kingdom forces all Fire Nation colonies out, only to discover that after generations of living there, people are less than willing to leave (especially the many mixed families). Eventually, they make these areas new neutral zones, neither belong to Earth or Fire. The largest of these becomes Republic City. Occurs in the fifth set of comics North and South when representatives of the Northern Water Tribe start trying to modernize the Southern Water Tribe in their own image ahead of opening a refinery that will distribute the large oil deposit that was found under the South Pole, which the Northerners think the Southerners are too primitive to handle. A group of traditionalists resent the Northerners for disparaging and erasing their traditions (plus the fact that they'll never be equal to the other empires no matter how hard they try), and form a terrorist cell. All of this is just the latest expression of longstanding feuds and bigotry between North and South, and while the situation is resolved by the heroes (with the South getting control of their own oil), this resolution just leaves the resentment between the two tribes worse than ever, culminating in the events of season two of Legend of Korra, in which a zealous new leader of the Northern Tribe uses those preexisting quarrels as one of his many excuses to initiate an attempt to annex the South, plunging the Water Tribes into a civil war in which the Southerners wage rebel attacks against the Northern occupiers. |

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey: A few examples, scattered around, what with the Peloponnesian War going on. One particular quest has the Eagle Bearer run into one Ax-Crazy practitioner of this on the Delos Islands, who doesn't like the Athenians or the Spartans, or indeed anyone not from the islands... such as the armed Spartan-born mercenary who just rescued his psychotic ass. Let him go free, and he repays the Eagle Bearer by murdering a friend of theirs at a party later on. | |

Star Trek: The Bajoran Resistance fighting the Cardassian occupation of Bajor in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Deep Space Nine also had a Cardassian resistance against the Dominion in later seasons. Discussed in "The Darkness and the Light" when a disfigured victim of one of Kira's bombs who has killed every member of her old resistance cell in revenge confronts her with the fact that he was just a civilian who did the laundry. Kira's reply is to angrily retort that he was a civilian who did the laundry for an occupying military force that had enslaved her entire planet and species! Not for nothing does Kira admit that she was a terrorist in those days. Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The High Ground". The Ansata terrorists are trying to force the Rutian occupation forces to leave their country. The Maquis of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, who were made up of colonists who refused to move off colony worlds that were ceded to the Cardassians in the truce that ended the war between the two nations. |

The Wind That Shakes the Barley is all about this, during the War of Independence in Ireland. It doesn't paint anybody solid white, but the guys that deviate from solid resistance action are definitely not regarded well compared to the stalwarts, and never mind England.

BattleTech has a few instances of this trope: The Taurian Concordat spent its entire time as a 'protectorate' of the Star League chafing at its bonds, using Bothering by the Book when it could and openly plotting rebellion otherwise. The New Vandenburg Uprising was effectively an independence revolt with Plausible Deniability, having been funded and armed by the Concordat government, and was a direct cause to the fall of Star League by enabling The Coup by Stefan Amaris. Some Federated Suns and St Ives Compact planets that were former Capellan Confederation worlds had such movements, though the overwhelming majority were actually terrorist networks formed by the Maskirovka, the Capellan Confederation's secret police, and therefore not made of natives of the planets. The citizens of the Principality of Rasalhague deeply resented being conquered by the Draconis Combine and the Tyr Resistance Movement continuously plagued the Combine for over 700 years. After the Combine lost half the Rasalhague Military District in the Fourth Succession War, both sides released all held former Rasalhague worlds and creating the Free Rasalhague Republic as a buffer state. All of the Clan Occupation Zones in the Inner Sphere ended up with these. They provided intelligence and shelter for Inner Sphere forces that came to raid the planets and harassed the Clan troops that garrisoned them. The Jade Falcons and Smoke Jaguars responded with brutal reprisals, in some cases even burning entire cities. Most other Clans were less harsh with their responses, though not always. One of the longest-lasting and most powerful was the Motstand in the Ghost Bear Occupation Zone (a Spiritual Successor of the Tyr Resistance Movement), which sponsored a long terrorist campaign against the Ghost Bears. They finally fell out of favour with the civilian population when they killed several hundred people in a bombing, including Christian Mansdottir, an elder statesman and beloved hero of the FRR. Overnight their image among Rasalhaguens went from "noble freedom fighters" to "dirty terrorists." |

The Elder Scrolls In Morrowind, kicking the Empire out of Morrowind is an open part of Dagoth Ur's plan. This sentiment is actually shared by quite a few other groups, ranging from the ruthless gangster Camonna Tong to even honorable groups like House Redoran. It's just that those groups lack the resources to actually drive the Empire out, while Dagoth Ur certainly would if he gets his hands on all of the Tools of Kagrenac. Skyrim: The Stormcloaks are fighting to rid Skyrim of the Empire. In some respects, it's taken even another level deeper by The Empire itself, as, in the aftermath of the Great War, a humiliating peace treaty forced them into making large concessions to the Fascist Aldmeri Dominion, including allowing them to police the Imperial countryside and persecute Imperial citizens for worshiping Talos, the "Ninth Divine" and Deity of Human Origin whose divinity many elves refuse to acknowledge and who the Thalmor that lead the Dominion absolutely hate. Appropriately, The Empire treats the Stormcloak Rebellion as an attempt to undermine their efforts to stand up to the Thalmor. The Dominion is secretly encouraging both sides to fight and maintain a stalemate specifically to keep the Empire too weak to stand up to them. The Reachmen, the tribal inhabitants of the Reach in western Skyrim, have been resisting any and all groups who attempt to claim the Reach dating all the way back to the First Tamriellic Empire. While their successes waxed and waned over that time, they experienced a resurgence during the Great War, successfully capturing the Nord city of Markarth and holding it for two years while the Empire was preoccupied. Though a Nord militia would eventually drive them out, they hold strong in the countryside of the Reach as the "Forsworn", led by Madanach, with their numbers swelling. |

In the near-future thriller Victoria, many in the incipient Northern Confederation (and the New Confederacy) feel this way about the federal agents and government troops trying to maintain Washington's rule in these areas, even before they formally declare their independence. An even straighter example is the reaction to the UN-backed invasion that follows the downfall of the old regime. | |

In Lawrence of Arabia, the Arabs want to not be ruled over by the Ottoman Empire anymore. As Lawrence puts it: For viewers who are familiar with Middle Eastern history, their efforts don't really work out. The Allies shockingly renege on their promises to grant full independence to the Arabs and the Arabs themselves ultimately fail to overcome their tribal differences. By the end of the movie, the Arabs have simply exchanged their old overlords for new ones. |

This is the premise of Star Wars Rebels, where the Ghost crew steal supplies from the Galactic Empire, sabotage their operations, and convince citizens to unite against the Empire so that they can be strong enough to expel them from Lothal.

The Brazilian war movie Batalha dos Guararapes depicts the Dutch invasions of Brazil with the Portuguese colonists (technically Brazil as an independent country wouldn't exist for another century) fighting to liberate their land. This war also has a religious nature, since the Dutch seek to convert the people to Calvinism and are opposed by the devoutly Catholic rebels who are loyal to the Pope, even the African slaves and the native tribesmen are united under Catholicism to drive out the "heretical" Protestants. | |

Happens not once, but three times in Ronald Moore's Battlestar Galactica series: Tom Zarek's movement to repudiate the Colonial federal government from his homeworld of Sagittaron, which led to Zarek blowing up a government building to achieve his ends and being imprisoned for it. A resistance movement arises on Caprica in order to attempt to expel the Cylon occupiers, which Helo, Boomer, and Starbuck all make contact with at some point. They get rescued in the season two finale. The Cylons decide to leave the 12 Colonies. The anti-Cylon resistance movement on New Caprica, who justify their attacks (particularly their suicide attacks) on several grounds, among which are expelling the Cylons from their planet. Also in Caprica, Tauron is occupied by foreigners. Many people fled the planet to richer Caprica to become an underclass. Many of the Tauron-derived gangsters want to help their homeland... but a few don't care, only seeing how much profit can be made. |

The Riftwar Cycle has this as the given reason the moredhel (dark elves) hate humans. Which makes sense, really, given that said occupation has driven the moredhel to live in the barren Northlands where they have to slaughter each other over scraps of food. | |

Occurs in the fifth set of comics North and South when representatives of the Northern Water Tribe start trying to modernize the Southern Water Tribe in their own image ahead of opening a refinery that will distribute the large oil deposit that was found under the South Pole, which the Northerners think the Southerners are too primitive to handle. A group of traditionalists resent the Northerners for disparaging and erasing their traditions (plus the fact that they'll never be equal to the other empires no matter how hard they try), and form a terrorist cell. All of this is just the latest expression of longstanding feuds and bigotry between North and South, and while the situation is resolved by the heroes (with the South getting control of their own oil), this resolution just leaves the resentment between the two tribes worse than ever, culminating in the events of season two of Legend of Korra, in which a zealous new leader of the Northern Tribe uses those preexisting quarrels as one of his many excuses to initiate an attempt to annex the South, plunging the Water Tribes into a civil war in which the Southerners wage rebel attacks against the Northern occupiers. | |

In the BattleTech campaign Restoration, the Arano Restoration takes this stance, instigating violent revolt against the Aurigan Directorate. Notably, the Directorate took power in a bloody coup against the rightful ruler, so the occupiers are actually citizens of the same national identity. But no one likes them because they use horrific policies, so the only people that want the Directorate in power are the leaders of it. | |

The Zeons from Mobile Suit Gundam and its numerous sequels have a long and complex relationship with this trope. Though they started as an independence movement trying to gain sovereignty for the space colonies, they ended up as an oppressive imperialistic force that conducted a brutal invasion of Earth, while at the same time allying itself with various nationalist movements, primarily in Africa, that wanted independence from The Federation, putting them in the unique position of being occupiers and fighting a different set of occupiers at the same time. After the original series, the Zeon home colonies get saddled with a nominally autonomous Federation puppet government while military remnants of both the Zeon forces and the nationalists they provided equipment to continue to be a thorn in the Federation's side up until the era of Mobile Suit Gundam F91 and even try invading or destroying Earth again a few more times. | |

The Traitor Baru Cormorant follows the story of a woman from a small island nation whose homeland is one day invaded and conquered by a brutal, imperialist, and repressive colonialist regime that seeks to crush and suppress the native culture and religion. While a resistance movement starts on the island to try and drive the occupiers away, the protagonist comes to the conclusion that the only way to achieve this is to infiltrate the evil empire, reach a high position, and destroy it from within. Naturally, this doesn't go how she hoped it would, not least of all because having to constantly play along with or enforce the empire's horrifically totalitarian and puritanical culture increasingly causes her to risk Becoming the Mask, to the point that she ends up helping destroy the aforementioned rebels, putting her home even further under the empire's heel in the name of securing her position. | |

The Guiding Hand in Feng Shui is based upon the kind of Well Intentioned Extremists and out-and-out Knight Templar-ish people that made up the Boxers at the turn of the twentieth century. | |

Crusader Kings II has nationalist and religious revolts (the latter are not to be confused with heretic revolts), wherein peasant rebels led by a character of a province's local culture or religion rise up against a different culture/religion liege. Cultural and religious differences also make AI vassal rulers more likely to join independence factions against their liege. | |
