After World War I, many European colonies experienced a surge of nationalist sentiments and a desire for self-determination. The war had weakened European powers, leading colonies to question their colonial status and push for independence. Inspired by the principles of self-determination promoted during the war, movements for independence began to gain momentum, as colonial subjects sought to assert their rights and challenge imperial rule. This period marked the beginning of significant shifts toward decolonization in the decades that followed.
