Detailed explanation-1: -United States. The United States of America declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776, thus becoming the first independent, foreign-recognized nation in the Americas and the first European colonial entity to break from its mother country.
Detailed explanation-2: -Between 1945 and 1960, three dozen new states in Asia and Africa achieved autonomy or outright independence from their European colonial rulers. There was no one process of decolonization. In some areas, it was peaceful, and orderly. In many others, independence was achieved only after a protracted revolution.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Cold War and decolonization were also linked by the actions of the two superpowers. The US said that it supported democracy and free markets. The Soviet Union promised to liberate workers from capitalist, imperial rule. That meant both the US and the USSR could be recruited to help anti-colonial movements.
Detailed explanation-4: -When the United Nations was founded in 1945, some 750 million people, nearly a third of the world’s population, lived in Territories that were dependent on colonial Powers. Today, there are 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories remaining and fewer than 2 million people live in them.
