The European powers were devastated by WW II and it took years to rebuild their economies and infrastructure (with the help of the US). They were in no condition to control a colonial empire. In addition, the European colonies had also been affected by the war and no longer believed the mythology about the superiority and advantages of European culture and civilization, which had brough the world to such disaster. WW II was very educational, and the colonies were not about to just go back to the way things used to be.

After the Spaniards, various European powers such as the Dutch, British, and French began establishing colonies in different parts of the world. This period marked the era of European colonial expansion and dominance.
By the late 18th century, there were 13 British colonies settled in the New World, which later became the foundation for the United States. These colonies included Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and others along the eastern seaboard. Additionally, other European powers, such as Spain and France, established their own colonies in the Americas, expanding the total number of settlements significantly. Overall, the New World was home to hundreds of colonies established by various European nations.
