Why did many nations win their independence from European rule after World War II?
During the War the European super powers had used up a lot of their resources which meant they could no longer extend their rule beyond their own borders. The down trotted civilians also had no more fight left in them and did not want to start another war.
How did the Cold War undermine imperialism?
The U.S. and the Soviet Union were backing colonies with the right of self-determination. The also were looking for allies within the pool of up and coming nations.
How did many new countries emerge during the Great Liberation?
Countries such as France were fighting to hold on to their colonies in some areas but to do this they had to give up land in other areas resulting in new countries being able to emerge.
What problems did new nations face while seeking stability?
Many of these new Nations resources had been taken from their land by their previous owner leaving almost none. Along with this uniting people was a problem because many people were from many different tribes so their views were different. The problem of government was the biggest issue. Many times a country tried and failed to make a constitution. In other countries the military powers took control and made dictatorships to run their countries. Overall, because of the lack of time these countries have had to develop they are still tackling many problems that older countries have already faced.
