Decolonization refers to the process by which colonized territories gained independence from imperial rule. There are two main definitions - one views it as territories legally becoming independent sovereign states, while the other sees it as reversing the impacts of European imperialism on political, economic, social and cultural aspects. Decolonization occurred as colonized peoples thirsted for freedom, World War II weakened colonial powers' perceived invulnerability, and anti-colonialism grew internationally through organizations like the United Nations. Scholars like Tony Chafer, Martin Shipway, and Martin Thomas have contributed to the study of decolonization.

Decolonisation
Decolonization refers to the process by which colonies become independent nations. It occurred from 1945-1960 as countries that had been ruled by European colonial powers gained autonomy and self-governance. Key drivers of decolonization included nationalist movements inspired by leaders like Gandhi, contributions by colonies during World War 2, and the rise of ideologies supporting self-determination. The end of colonial rule had political, economic, and social consequences for newly independent nations.
Decolonization in a Global Context
A melange of theory and case studies useful for the study of AP and IB decolonization within the context of globalization.
Decolonisation process
The document discusses the debates around the decolonization of West Africa. It outlines that decolonization took different forms across West Africa, including peaceful transitions, violence, and civil unrest. Scholars debate whether decolonization was driven more by internal factors like emerging nationalist movements and economic grievances, or external factors such as the formation of the UN and changes in global power dynamics after World War II. The document examines evidence for factors on both sides of the debate.
20th century Decolonization Intro
This document discusses decolonization and independence movements in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East from the 1920s to 1980s. It overviewed how many regions in these parts of the world freed themselves from European imperial dominance by the mid-20th century through processes like European withdrawal, revolutions overthrowing Europeans, and non-violent independence movements. Some of the key causes that led to decolonization included education and information acquired by local populations, the two World Wars, and the growth of nationalism as people questioned European superiority. The results were many new independent nation-states, though economic dependency and gaps between rich and poor persisted as problems in some places.
Imperialism and Decolonization
This document provides an overview of the major historical periods and theories related to European imperialism and decolonization between the 1870s-1970s. It summarizes the phases as: Old Imperialism from 1500s-1700s with large European acquisitions in the Americas and trading outposts elsewhere; the Age of Revolutions from 1776-1830 including the American and French Revolutions; New Imperialism from 1880s-1914 with the rapid partition of non-European areas amongst European powers; and Decolonization from 1945-1970s establishing new states in former colonies, sometimes through violent conflicts and other times through peaceful transfers of power. Economic, political, and ideological theories for imperialism are also briefly outlined.
Decolonization - Africa
The document discusses decolonization in Africa following World War II. It outlines Kwame Nkrumah's vision of a unified and economically integrated Africa with less Western influence through Pan-Africanism. It then examines the internal and external challenges African nations faced in gaining independence, as well as the impact of the Cold War. Most nations achieved independence through negotiated deals or incomplete decolonization, though settler colonies like Kenya and Algeria faced violent uprisings. The results of decolonization were often non-revolutionary transfers of power to corrupt elites and continued economic dependence on the West. South Africa remained under white minority rule until the end of apartheid in the 1990s. Nkrumah's vision of a united
Decolonization africa, asia, the middle east
Between the 1920s and 1980s, many regions in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East gained independence from European colonial rule through various means such as non-violent protest movements, revolutions that overthrew European powers, and peaceful withdrawals. Nationalist sentiments grew as locals received more education and questioned European claims of superiority, and decolonization was further spurred by the world wars and anti-colonial wars within territories. However, independence did not solve all problems as new nations struggled with economic dependence and inequality.

Decolonization in india_and_africa
Decolonization after World War 2 led to independence for many nations in India and Africa from European imperial rule. India gained independence from Britain in 1947 after decades of non-violent protests led by Gandhi. Partition created India and Pakistan, and over 1 million died in ensuing violence. Ghana was the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence in 1957 under Kwame Nkrumah. South Africa gained independence in 1931 but continued apartheid racial segregation policies until the end of the apartheid system in 1994 after international pressure and Nelson Mandela becoming the first black president. Decolonization was often violent and unstable, as seen by civil wars in Nigeria and Congo and genocides in Rwanda and Sudan.
Lecture 10 decolonization & neocolonialism - Belgian Congo & South Africa

Nationalism
This document discusses the origins and definitions of nationalism. It begins by defining nationalism as a feeling of loyalty and pride in one's nation, and a desire for political independence. It then discusses how nationalism emerged in Europe in the late 18th and 19th centuries due to events like the French Revolution and Industrial Revolution, which challenged old power structures and led to the rise of nation-states. Nationalism further developed due to the growth of the middle class and their desire for more political rights and representation. The document also introduces the concept of the "imagined community" which underlies modern nationalist movements.
Ch 24_The 1950s
Eisenhower was elected president in 1952, choosing Richard Nixon as his vice president. Eisenhower ran on a campaign promising to end the Korean War and appealed to voters with his message of stability and security. Despite attacks against Nixon, Eisenhower easily won the election. As president, Eisenhower pursued fiscal conservatism while maintaining New Deal programs. He also emphasized deterrence over military strength in foreign policy and escalated US involvement in Vietnam against communist influences.
Lecture- nationalist movements in africa
Nationalist movements in Africa were inspired by ideals of self-determination and independence. They were led by figures like Nkrumah of Ghana, Kenyatta of Kenya, and Lumumba of the Congo who adopted philosophies like pan-Africanism and negritude. These leaders and their organizations worked to end colonial rule and promote African unity, though they also faced opposition from colonial powers and influence from the Cold War.
Nationalism
Nationalism grew stronger in several countries in the 1800s:
- Matthew Perry forced Japan to open to trade in 1853, helping end its isolationist period and spurring modernization.
- Greece gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1832 after revolting with foreign support.
- Mohammed Ali modernized Egypt in the early 1800s, establishing an Egyptian national identity.
- The Indian Rebellion of 1857 resisted British rule in India, leading the British to take formal control and begin the British Raj period of rule.

Nationalism in Space and Place
This document discusses the rise of nationalist movements around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It provides examples of nationalism in different regions, including Pan-Africanism in Africa, the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty and Boxer Rebellion in China, the Meiji Restoration modernizing Japan, separatist movements in Europe, the Constitutional Revolution in Iran, Zionism in Palestine, and independence movements in Cuba and Mexico. Though nationalism manifested differently in various locations, it was a widespread phenomenon as people sought self-determination amid changing global dynamics in this era.
Group 4.pptx
Colonialism involves a country conquering and ruling over other regions. Modernity refers to the narrative of continual progress based on reason and universal principles that separates humanity from nature. The modernization theory of the 1940s proposed economic development as the solution to poverty but failed in many post-colonial countries due to cultural factors like particularism, collectivism and ascription that differed from Western individualism and universalism. Global inequality results from core nations exploiting resources from peripheral nations, creating a cycle of dependence.
End of imperialism
After WWII, the world saw major geopolitical changes with the end of imperialism and colonialism as new independent nations emerged across Asia and Africa. Key events included the dissolution of colonial empires and creation of over 100 new countries, as nationalist movements led to the decline of European political and economic control over their former territories.

Some key aspects of African political ideas that developed include humanism, decolonization, liberation, unity, national development, and African socialism. Scholars like Sithole reject the idea that African political ideas were solely imported from other places, pointing to concepts like freedom and slavery that existed in African languages and histories prior to colonialism. However, other scholars argue that post-colonial resistance movements were influenced by

Post Colonialism Intro
Colonialism involves the dominance of a strong nation over a weaker one to acquire resources and manpower from colonies. Colonialists justified their actions by claiming colonized people were uncivilized and needed education, their cultures were inferior, and they could not govern themselves. The effects of colonialism included the erosion of colonized cultures, rejection of Western influences as a reaction, and emergence of new social classes and contradictions. Post-colonialism critiques Western representations of colonized peoples and studies power relationships between former colonizers and colonized groups. Post-colonial literature examines cultural relativism, absurdity of colonial discourses, ambivalence towards authority due to victory over settlers, and colonial alienation in one's
Africa Before And After Colonization
France colonized a large portion of Africa beginning in the late 1800s. By 1914, France occupied over 212,600 square miles in North, West, and Central Africa, comparable in size to the United States. France established direct rule over its colonies and used the colonies primarily for extracting natural resources to benefit France. While some positive impacts included improved infrastructure, healthcare, and education, the colonial system also negatively impacted Africans through exploitation of resources and people, erosion of culture, and artificial borders that later fueled conflicts.
Who is hehind african poverty irrespective of incredibal natural resources?
The document discusses the role of colonialism in creating African poverty and dependency. It argues that:
1) During the colonial era from the 15th-20th centuries, European powers divided up and exploited Africa solely to extract its natural resources like minerals and establish economic control through institutions like the UN and World Bank.
2) This created a legacy of viewing Africa as a source of free resources and labor to fuel European industrialization, rather than as independent nations. Africans were made to believe they could not prosper without help from outsiders.
3) Today a new group of powerful countries like China, India, and Russia compete to control and exploit Africa's resources, fueling conflicts and preventing development in order

This document provides an overview of Heathenry as a postcolonial movement. It discusses how Heathenry aims to revive the pre-Christian religions of northern Europe in response to Christianity's imperial expansion. The document also explores the relationship between Heathenry's focus on white racial identity and its claims of postcolonial stances against colonialism. While Heathenry adopts anti-colonial rhetoric to position itself as resisting Christianity, its emphasis on race is problematic and serves to justify racial inequalities by framing colonialism as in the past. The document analyzes debates in postcolonial theory regarding whether postcolonialism implies colonialism is over or recognizes its ongoing impacts.

Others argue weaker economies need protection initially and prefer regulated cooperation between developed and developing regions. Critically, some argue European domination and imposed economic systems historically disadvantaged developing areas due to exploitation and failure to respect local laws and peoples. Overall, the lecture frames the debate between full integration versus regulated independence in international political economy.
Politics in the_third_world
Politics doesn't show great differences in all parts of the world. Aims, targets,conflicts are the same in every region. So, third world (third world) politics don'tshow big differences when we compare them with other politics. The differencedoes not come from the characteristics of people but from the uniuecircumstances. The term ''third world'' contains Americas on the south of us, Africa, Asia without Soviet union, !hina, "apan and ocean islands but not #ew$ealand and Australia. This nearly ta%es the half of world population inside
Cultural Imperialism
This document discusses cultural imperialism and its effects. It defines cultural imperialism as more powerful cultures promoting themselves over lesser known cultures. It notes that the term emerged in the 1960s. It explores how American mass culture dominates the global cultural sphere through television, film, and advertising.

According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (2006), Colonization is the process of forming a settlement or what is called a colony by a people in a foreign land. The process usually involves taking political control of countries and territories and over the indigenous populations that are found there. Colonization is accompanied by mass immigration to the new territory from the mother nation (the colonizing nation) and the introductions of customs and the culture of the settlers largely at the expense of the culture and way of life of the indigenous populations. Examples of colonization include the British occupation of Australia, North America and Canada and the Spanish conquest of Argentina, Cuba, and Chile.
Motives for colonization are many according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (2006) and they include; the control of trade routes, to gain strategic military positions in key areas on the globe, to develop new markets for goods and services for the industries of the mother nation, to keep up with rival nations and to acquire and control the resources of the territories. Some of the other reasons forwarded as grounds for colonization include civilizing the natives
The French colonization of Vietnam
The French colonization of Vietnam was part of the larger strategy to occupy the Indochina territories that began in the 17th century (Groslier, 1967). The first contact involved a mission by the Jesuit missionary Alexandre de Rhodes at a time when the Vietnamese were occupying the Mekong Delta. In the 18th century, the French involvement in Vietnam and Indochina was restricted to trade but things took a different turn in the 19th century when the French military began to make interventions. One of these reasons was that there were incidences involving French missionaries who were often killed or expelled from Vietnam.
France was also competing with other European countries such as Britain and the Dutch for control of the trade routes and the resources in the area. The French were seeking suitable geographical positions to promote international trade, gain military advantage and promote French culture in the region.
Napoleon III ordered the invasion of Vietnam in 1857, and Vietnam soon fell to the French as the Vietnamese lacked the weapons and the technology to resist the invasion. In 1862, the Vietnamese and the French signed peace treaties that gave the French control over southern Vietnam. After 21 years and in 1883, the French were also able to conquer Northern Vietnam and called the region Tonkin. The two areas were combined and called French Indochina. The French colonization of Indochina lasted until 1954 after a series of successful revolts such as the First Indochina War. The state of Vietnam wa.
The Scramble for Africa PBL
The Scramble for Africa document summarizes the major events of European colonization and imperialism in Africa between the late 19th and 20th centuries. The Berlin Conference divided the continent among European powers without African input. Belgium's King Leopold oversaw one of the bloodiest massacres in Congo's history. The Boer War changed South Africa as the Zulu Kingdom was diminished. Europeans arbitrarily divided African ethnic groups, separating families and causing conflict. The legacy of exploitation and artificial borders has led to ongoing issues like civil wars, disease, and the Rwandan genocide. International aid now also enables continued resource exploitation.
The scramble for africa pbl
The Scramble for Africa document summarizes the major events of European colonization and imperialism in Africa between the late 19th and 20th centuries. The Berlin Conference divided the continent among European powers without African input. King Leopold of Belgium was responsible for the deaths of 10 million Congolese during his brutal rule. The Boer War changed the development of South Africa by diminishing the native Zulu Kingdom. European colonizers divided ethnic groups and caused long-lasting effects such as underdevelopment, civil wars, and the Rwandan genocide that killed over 1 million people. International aid to Africa now provides an excuse for continued exploitation of resources rather than supporting self-sufficiency.

GLOBAL MIGRATION.coooooooooooootemp.pptx
This document summarizes key concepts about global migration. It defines different types of migration such as internal, international, voluntary economic migration, forced displacement, and refugee crises. It also categorizes countries as first, second, third world and developed or developing. The document outlines learning objectives about distinguishing civilizations and analyzing factors underlying global people movements. It discusses concepts like cosmopolitanism and theories by Huntington on civilizational clashes. Causes of migration include pursuing economic stability and transnational relations. Benefits for sending countries include remittances, skills and reduced unemployment, while disadvantages comprise brain drain and loss of financial/skilled labor.
Cultural imperialism
This document discusses cultural imperialism, post-colonialism, and their relationship to media. It defines cultural imperialism as one culture dominating another through military, economic, technological, or media influence. Post-colonialism examines media through the lens of colonialism's aftermath. The document argues that Western media, like Hollywood films, can spread Western culture and values globally, functioning as a tool of cultural imperialism. It provides examples of how British colonial rule influenced cultures and how the U.S. culture dominates through media like film.
THE GENESIS OF THE WEALTH AND POVERTY OF NATIONS
This article aims to analyze the genesis of the wealth and poverty of nations and to point out solutions for poor nations to develop. The world began to face many years ago with the existence of very few rich countries that present advanced economic and social development alongside the vast majority of poor countries with precarious economic and social development. Many ask: what is the explanation for the central capitalist countries having reached a high level of economic and social development and the other countries not? There are several answers to this question. One of them is that the core capitalist countries have developed essential competences to promote economic, scientific and technological development. But the main answer is that the central capitalist countries accumulated a large volume of capital during colonialism from the 14th to the 17th centuries and imperialism from the 18th to the 20th centuries with the looting they carried out in the countries they dominated and also in the current stage of neoliberal globalization. The relationship of dependence of poor, peripheral and semi-peripheral countries on world capitalism will only come to an end with the disappearance of the capitalist world system and the adoption throughout the world of a new model of society that ensures economic and social progress for all countries and not just for a very few countries. This new model would require the existence of a world government to ensure the functioning of a new world order that guarantees equity in the development process of nations and the implementation of the Welfare State along the lines of that practiced in Scandinavian countries with the necessary adaptation to each country because it is the most successful social system ever implemented in the world..

Migration Group Presentation
This document discusses several theories related to the study of population movement and migration. It begins by outlining reasons for studying populations and migration, such as understanding economics, geography, politics, sociology, demography and linguistics. It then examines dimensions of migration study, including within or between nations, voluntary or coerced movement, and push or pull factors. Several sections summarize theories on topics like marriage as migration, the history of families, economic reasons for marrying and having children, and how economic changes have affected modern marriages. The document also provides summaries of several economic migration initiation theories and perpetuation theories.
Migrations Bibliography
This document provides a bibliography of sources related to populations and migration. It includes over 50 references to books, articles, and reports covering topics like the economic reasons behind marriage and family, methodologies for analyzing internal migration data, the role of geography in genocide, extreme weather events and mortality, climate change and migration, and first-hand accounts of genocide and exile. Many of the sources take comparative approaches to studying issues like genocide, cities, disease, and theories of international migration.
History project nationalism - nihal sen
Nationalism is a complex concept with no agreed-upon definition. It is generally associated with the French Revolution but some scholars argue it emerged earlier. Nationalism can be viewed as an abstract group identity or as a natural distinction between groups. It has been argued to have both constructive and destructive effects. While nationalism may promote isolation, some scholars believe it can also facilitate global integration as local identities are strengthened alongside growing international connections. The relationship between colonizers and colonized was sometimes positive with cultural exchange and economic development, contradicting arguments that colonialism inherently caused underdevelopment.
Kelly frazelle presentation colonialism
- Scholars disagree on distinguishing imperialism from colonialism/colonization. Colonialism often involves economic exploitation and physical presence, while imperialism includes exploitation without presence.
- Opinions on Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel vary widely. It takes a broad, scientific view of history but lacks specificity. While influential, its geographic determinism is incomplete and it is criticized for disparaging previous scholarship. Its usefulness in the classroom depends on how it is taught.
Hist 7030 garcía-nations and nationalism presentation summary
This document summarizes a presentation on debates around nations and nationalism. There are four main questions debated: the definition of nation and nationalism, when nations emerged, how they developed, and whether nationalism originated in Europe. The most contentious debates center on defining nations and determining when they first appeared. One view is that nations are modern cultural constructs from the late 1700s, while others argue nations have existed for much longer, perhaps since pre-modern times. Two influential scholars, Ernest Gellner and Anthony D. Smith, disagree on whether nations originated with industrialization and the rise of standardized education/culture or developed from earlier ethnic communities respectively. The document outlines their perspectives and debates surrounding the role of history in understanding nationalism.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
