Various European powers, including the British, Spanish, and French, vied for control over the islands, resulting in a period of colonization and cultural assimilation. The indigenous populations were subjected to foreign rule, and their way of life underwent significant changes.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, the Saint Cyril and Methodius Islands experienced waves of migration from different parts of the world, adding to the cultural diversity of the archipelago. This multicultural influence enriched the islands' traditions, languages, and customs.
In the mid-20th century, a movement for self-determination and independence began to gain momentum among the islanders. They sought to reclaim their cultural heritage and assert their sovereignty. This movement was fueled by a growing sense of national identity and a desire for self-governance.
