In North Africa, the prime examples of irredentism are the concepts of Greater Morocco and Greater Mauritania. [53] While Mauritania has since relinquished any claims to territories outside its internationally recognized borders, Morocco continues to claim Western Sahara, which it refers to as its "Southern Provinces".
Further examples are attempts to establish a Greater Serbia following the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s and Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. Irredentism is closely related to revanchism and secession. Revanchism is an attempt to annex territory belonging to another state.

Chinese irredentism involves irredentist claims to the territories of former Chinese dynasties made by the Republic of China (ROC) [a] and subsequently the People's Republic of China (PRC). Background
Admittedly, we have some sub-national irredentism movements (for example: Chechnya's claim on part of Dagestan) which I'm fine with. With the Kurdistan example, the only possible case of irredentism is with the Iraqi Kurdish claims on Kirkuk and parts of Nineveh and Diyala provinces. Attempts to separate Iraqi Kurdistan are separatist.
In some cases, the group seeks to unify into a different state – in cases where this does not involve the creation of a new state entity, this is considered to be irredentism. Analogous irredentist movements are included in the list of active irredentist movements.
