Résumé:
This dissertation entitled “The Rise and Evolution of Sovereignty Movement in Quebec: The
1995 Referendum” comprehensively elucidates the factors that led to the rise and evolution of Quebec
Nationalism with reference to the 1995 Sovereignty Referendum. Indeed this work aims at explaining
how sovereignty movements developed in Quebec and to what extent they were influential. This
dissertation hypothesises that the prospect of independence for Quebec diminished after 1995 indicating
and obvious shifted from separatism to federalism. This hypothesis is relatively answering the problematic
of this research which put in question the effectiveness of Quebec nationalism in gaining independence for
the province.
