what is ment by decolonization?

Answer 1

Decolonization refers to the achievement of independence by the various Western colonies and protectorates in Asia and Africa following World War II. This conforms with an intellectual movement known as Post-Colonialism. A particularly active period of decolonization occurred between 1945 to 1960, beginning with the independence of Pakistan and India from Great Britain in 1947 and the First Indochina War. National liberation movements, however, had often already been created before the war (the Indian National Congress was created in 1885; Philippine-American War). Decolonization could be achieved by attaining independence, integrating with the administering power or another state, or establishing a "free association" status. The United Nations (UN) has stated that in the process of decolonization there is no alternative to the principle of self-determination. Decolonization may involve peaceful negotiation and/or violent revolt and armed struggle by the native population.
