Looking back at the island’s history we can see why Corsica feels the way it does about France. It was exploited for resources by both France and Italy harming its economic growth, and on multiple occasions France has tried to get rid of their language. These attempts being as recent as 2022 when French courts deemed it illegal to speak Corsu in government. The island simply wants to preserve its language, and the French government is trying to stop that.
This picture displays the Corsican flag. The man on it is meant to represent independence and freedom, showing the peoples’ desire for self-determination and anger with the government of France.
