Descolonization and “Third World”
A WORLDWIDE TREND
"National liberation movements" were
consolidated or formed in several places. Worldwide decolonization gained
strength. A large number of new independent states were formed, which
became part of the UN.
INITIAL CONFLICTS
Internal ethnic and regional confrontations,
economic interests of the former colonial metropolises or local groups generated conflicts in
many of the nascent states.
END OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
Britain won the world war, but lost its colonial
empire, the largest in the world. In a few years, India, Burma, Malaysia and Singapore became
independent. The Caribbean colonies also achieved their independence.
Commonwealth
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 54
independent and equal countries. The member governments have agreed to share goals like
development, democracy and peace.
FRENCH COLONIAL CONFLICTS
The French colonial empire ended and left the country a few minor dependencies. The Japanese
had occupied French Indochina and promoted nationalism.
THIRD WORLD
It was called, then, First World to
the group of developed capitalist countries that concentrated the
greatest wealth of the planet.
NON – ALLIED COUNTRIES
In the world positions arose that tried to maintain independence with respect to the two poles. These were developed countries that adopted socialist regimes, but without submitting to the
Soviets, such as Yugoslavia, led by Josip Broz Tito.
