Most European colonies gained independence in a wave of decolonization that primarily occurred between the late 1940s and the 1970s, roughly spanning about 30 years. The process varied by region; for instance, many African nations achieved independence in the 1960s, while some Asian countries gained independence earlier, in the late 1940s. The timeline reflects a significant shift in global attitudes towards colonialism and self-determination.
