Decolonization in Africa and Asia

Decolonization in Africa and Asia during the mid-20th century marked the end of European colonial rule in many regions and the emergence of independent nations. Following World War II, a wave of nationalism swept across the continents, inspiring countries to seek self-determination and sovereignty.

Notable examples include India gaining independence from British rule in 1947 and many African nations achieving independence in the 1960s. This process was often marked by negotiations, but in some cases, it involved conflict and struggle as nations fought against colonial powers.
