ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Rattachism

Hello kiddo! So, do you know what is a country? It's a place where people live together and they all have some common rules and laws to follow. But sometimes, people in different parts of a country feel like they are not treated equally or they just want to have more control over the decisions that are made in their area.

So, some people in France feel like that. They feel like their region, which is called Brittany, is not treated equally by the French government and they believe that they should have more say in the decisions that affect their region. That's why they want to have a special status for Brittany, kind of like a country inside a country.

This idea is called rattachism, and it means that Brittany would still be a part of France, but it would have more power to make its own decisions. People who support rattachism believe that this would help Brittany to develop its own culture, language, and economy, and it would make the region stronger and more independent.

However, there are also people who are against rattachism because they think that it would weaken France as a whole and they believe that everyone should be treated equally, no matter where they live. It's a complex issue and there are many different opinions about it, but the important thing is that people are talking about it and trying to find the best way to make everyone happy. Does that make sense, kiddo?
