Abstract

The process of decolonization radically altered the international political scene throughout the twentieth century. The effects of decolonization on civilizations emerging from colonial authority, including its causes, techniques, and, most significantly, its lasting impact, are complex and multidimensional. We examine the political, social, economic, and cultural features of post-colonial countries that developed after this time. The fights for freedom by colonised peoples, shifts in geopolitical reality, and alterations in global standards all contributed to the acceleration of the decolonization process. case studies from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East are used to demonstrate the many decolonization paths that have resulted from the interaction of these influences in these regions.
