Detailed explanation-1: -One of the main reasons for the decolonization of Africa was World war II. Many European nations struggled to keep up with their possessions in Africa after the war. Due to this, nationalists were able to negotiate the decolonization of Africa quickly and with few casualties.
Detailed explanation-2: -Three main factors were extremely important in this decolonization process. First and foremost, the desire for independence among colonised peoples, followed by the Second World War’s demonstration of the vulnerability of colonial powers, and finally, the United Nations’ renewed emphasis on anti-colonialism.
Detailed explanation-3: -After World War II, European countries generally lacked the wealth and political support necessary to suppress faraway revolts; they also faced opposition from the new superpowers, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, both of which had taken positions against colonialism. Korea was freed in 1945 by Japan’s defeat in the war.
