Decolonization feels like justice as it is the undoing of imperialism and the colonial system by the same indigenous groups that were originally persecuted. It's a time when colonies start to demand & declare independence and embrace self-determination. It begins with the Indian National Congress, as the leading political party in India at the time and pushed hard for independence. It was led by Gandhi ( we’ll get back to him in 8.7) who started a non-violent movement, which made the British look like the bad guys when the world press published images of them stopped the protests (often with violence). In 1947, India gained independence. It would partition with Pakistan later that’s for 8.6). The next independence movement was in Africa, again against the British, and was led by Kwame Nkrumah, a leading Ghanaian nationalist who was Western-educated. His tactics were sort of similar to Gandhi’s, leading the charge as Ghanaians refused to cooperate with British authorities and boycotting British goods, and winning independence in 1957. After WWII, Kenya began agitating for independence like India and Ghana, but a little more violently. This is exemplified by the Mau Mau movement, which wounded and killed thousands (some Kenyans). However, the end result was the same: Kenya became a nation in 1963. In Asia, Ho Chi Minh will follow Stalin and Mao down the communist road using collectivization and land reforms to achieve his goal. Decolonization continued throughout the 20th century, occurring in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
