Several colonies suppported their motherlands on the condition that after the war, they would become fully independent (like Canada and several African countries). Other countries, especially in Asia, saw their once all-powerful colonial masters reduced to internment camp inmates by the Japanese which fatally damaged their image of superiority. Japan also had rallied local support in the countries they conquered by advertising their invasions as 'liberation' wars from colonial occupation. After their defeat they left a lot of military hardware for the new nationalist movements to use.
Another result of WW 2 was that it left countries like Britain and France economically broken and practically bankrupt. Hanging on to their former colonial empires would only have been feasible with the financial and military support of the US. But the US had made it a strict matter of policy not to support (and even actively discourage) any effort of re-establishing colonial empires.

Furthermore, the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union as superpowers shifted global dynamics, encouraging decolonization efforts. Ultimately, the war accelerated the dismantling of European empires in Asia and Africa, leading to a wave of independence movements in the subsequent decades.

Why did great Britain want war in 1914?
They didn't want a war. They, like the other colonial powers, had much to lose and nothing to gain by going to war. Germany wanted to go to war as they arrived late on the colonial scene and therefore wanted to get some colonies. Since the great colonial empires weren't about to give up their lands and there wasn't really anywhere else to colonise they decided to go to war in the hope of being able to wrestle some land from the empires in the peace settlements (should they have won).
