Every parent country thinks or declares that the child country can not legally secede from them. That is why we have wars to settle these things. If the child wins, it is freedom and Independence. If the parent wins, it is called a rebellion or insurrection.

If the child wins, it is freedom and Independence. If the parent wins, it is called a rebellion or insurrection. Reminds me of a passage from the awesome novel "Shogun".
Toranaga: "It is never acceptable for a vassal to rebel against his Master!"
Blackthorne: "There is one instance where it is acceptable, Toranaga-sama."
Toranaga: "And what is that Anjin-san?"
Blackthorne: "If he wins, Toranaga-sama."
