Did the United States consider supporting separatist movements in former Axis countries after World War II?
Short answerThe explanation offered is that Cold War alliance plans favoured cohesive states and made suspected communist links an obstacle to sponsorship. The passage does not establish a separate policy history for each movement.
NotesThe question names Bavarian, Okinawan, and Sardinian separatist movements as possible recipients of American support after the Second World War. The explanation offered here centres on the later Cold War preference for cohesive partner states. It also describes American suspicion of communist backing, which is a claim about perceived alignment rather than evidence that each movement received such backing. Individual occupation decisions and the policies toward each named movement are not examined.
