American pressure, financial as much as anything. Aid during the war was often contingent on the abandonment of empire after it. Also the perceived weakness of pre-war colonial powers during the war made the colonised peoples disinclined to accept the inevitability of colonial rule. Sometimes (eg the British in India) concessions were made to colonised peoples to secure their support during the war.

Several factors encouraged decolonization in the decades after World War 2. Firstly, the spread of anti-colonial sentiment and the demand for self-determination among colonized peoples put pressure on colonial powers to grant independence. Secondly, the decline of European imperial powers after the war weakened their ability to maintain colonial control. Lastly, the emerging Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union made it strategically important for former colonies to gain independence and align with one of the superpowers.
