Answer:

Due to post-war debt, European powers were no longer able to afford the resources needed to maintain control of their African colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

European countries wanted to colonize Africa in order to exploit African resources.

Due to the process of decolonization, African countries managed to get free, some peacefully and some aggressively.
