Comparison of Decolonization in India and Africa After World War II

Joe Levy
In comparing the patterns and results of decolonization of India and Africa, there are many similarities and differences. The decolonization movement gained strength after WWII in both India and Africa because of the war's weakening of the colonizing European countries' economies, as well as rising nationalism in India and Africa. Also, both Africa and India suffered splits between populations within the same colony after decolonization. This was because of ethnic and religious differences among populations of the colonies. However, Africa and India were different in their political structures after decolonization. This was because of the desire of these African nations to protect and gain valuable resources, as well as the desire of the Hindus of India to gain political power and of the rulers of the nations of Africa to remain in power.
