The end of the Second World War created an environment in which the process of decolonisation gained speed.

Answer»
  • The Second World War dealt a serious blow to the colonial powers, depriving them of their former prestige.
  • The process of decolonisation accelerated in a short time because of the conflicts among European coloniser countries and the anti-colonial movements in the colonies.
  • The European countries could not have reasoned out colonisation and the exploitation of colonies from an intellectual platform.
  • The Asian and African continents were filled with a heightened spirit of independence movements.
  • The awareness about these movements spread rapidly. Many countries in both continents obtained their freedom.
  • In ten years following the end of the Second World War, with successive waves of decolonisation in Asia and Africa, the Third World took its place as a new player in the international arena.
