One of the things discussed in the mid Atlantic in the early days of WW2 in a meeting between Roosevelt and Churchill was the colonies of Britain. Roosevelt and the US frowned on colonialism and believed it had no place in the modern world .Churchill was on that ship to plead for US aid. Even a hard nosed old bulldog knows when he's over a barrel and part of the agreement was that Britain would begin to dismantle its Empire after the war.
