Also known as decolonisation
Decolonization is the ending of colonialism, the latter being the process whereby imperial nations establish and dominate foreign territories, often overseas. The meanings and applications of the term are disputed. Some scholars of decolonization focus especially on independence movements in the colonies and the collapse of global colonial empires.
Decolonization refers to the process of ending colonialism, in which powerful nations had controlled and ruled over foreign territories, often far from home. It matters because it involved major independence movements and the breakdown of the large colonial empires that had dominated much of the world, though scholars continue to debate exactly what the term means and how it should be applied.
