The devastation and expense of the world wars significantly weakened European powers, leading to a wave of decolonization across Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Many colonies sought independence, fueled by rising nationalist movements and the desire for self-determination. The economic strain on colonial powers made it increasingly difficult to maintain control over distant territories, resulting in a rapid dismantling of colonial empires in the mid-20th century. Consequently, numerous new nations emerged, reshaping the global political landscape.
