The former colonial possessions of Europe experienced significant changes in the 20th century, primarily through a wave of decolonization that led to the independence of many nations, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Former colonies often faced challenges such as political instability, economic struggles, and social conflicts following independence. Some countries successfully transitioned to self-governance and developed their economies, while others continued to grapple with the legacies of colonialism. The geopolitical landscape shifted as newly independent nations sought to assert their sovereignty and establish their identities on the global stage.
