* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfDorsa'': The mountain men were forced to flee their lands in the East after the Empire conquered them. Since then then regrouped, fighting the Empire for years to get it back.

* Similar to the above, there's Music/PaulMcCartney and Music/{{Wings}}' "Give Ireland Back To The Irish", which was written in response to the 1972 "Bloody Sunday" massacre.

->''"''None of you'' belonged on Bajor. It wasn't your world. For ''fifty years'', you ''raped'' our planet, and you killed our ''people.'' You lived on our land and you took the food out of our mouths, and I don't care whether you held a phaser in your hand or you ''ironed shirts'' for a living; you were ''all'' guilty and you were '''all legitimate targets!"'''''

** 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. [[spoiler: They get rescued in the season two finale. The Cylons decide to leave the 12 Colonies]].

* This is the motive of the Al-Samad terrorist group in ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol''. which is clearly ''[[SarcasmMode not]]'' based [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed on Al-Qaeda]]. Though surprisingly, their leader is portrayed as something of a NobleDemon, genuinely being honest with Thorton about his ties to [[spoiler: Halbech]]. If he hadn't shot down an airliner, he might be considered a heroic character. [[spoiler: 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.]]

** This is also the main source of conflict in ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise 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, [[spoiler: they make these areas new neutral zones, neither belong to Earth or Fire. The largest of these becomes [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Republic City]].]]

** Occurs in the fifth set of comics ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderNorthAndSouth North and South]]'' when representatives of the Northern Water Tribe start modernizing the Southern Water Tribe in their own image ahead of [[spoiler: opening a refinery that will distribute the large oil deposit that was found under the South Pole that 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. We know that [[spoiler: things will end peacefully since by ''Legend of Korra'', the Southerners are on equal footing with the rest of the empires and control their oil]].

* ''Literature/TheBurningKingdoms'': Many of the Ahiranyi want freedom from their Parijati rulers, and an independent Ahiranya again. Some have become rebels, with sympathizers advocating it too.

* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': The people of Ferrix put up with and mostly ignore the fact that their planet has been taken over by the Empire until the Empire actually sets up an occupation on Ferrix, at which point tensions quickly boil over into outright violence. As Maarva says they've been "sleeping" but once the occupation starts in earnest they loose what patience they had that let them put up with outsiders trying to interfere in their way of life.
