Many countries have provinces or regions that have sought to protect their languages and cultures. Some examples include:
* Canada: The province of Quebec has historically fought for the protection of the French language and culture.
* Spain: Catalonia and the Basque Country have long sought greater autonomy to protect their languages and cultures.
* Belgium: The regions of Flanders (Dutch speaking) and Wallonia (French speaking) have had tensions over language and culture.
* United Kingdom: Northern Ireland has seen conflict related to language and culture, although the situation is more complex than just a single province.
To give you a better answer, please provide more information about:
* What time period are you interested in?
