Just need an introduction paragraph with a thesis statement!!

Answer 1

While varying in time and location, African and Asian nations substantially engaged in decolonization from European countries in the mid- to late 20th century through a variety of methods in similar routes of action. India, Vietnam, Ghana, and South Africa, to name a few, decided to rise up against their colonizers to gain independence after several decades of oppression. While India and many African nations shared a common colonizer in Great Britain, France among other European nations occupied and imperialized African nations during the New Imperialism. Even after being liberated from their foreign oppressors, these nations faced challenges ahead of them similar in political, social, and economic aspects such as the dichotomy in Vietnam. Mass death tolls at times exceeding millions, elected leaders becoming the kingpins of revolutionary movements and nations becoming pawns between superpowers in the Cold War were some similar methods that nations in Africa and Asia acquired in order to achieve independence.

Answer 2

I typed this answer myself, I hope you are satisfied with it!

While varying in location and time, the African and Asian independence movements that took place in Ghana, South Africa, Vietnam, and India have also had many similarities in other areas. Some of the similarities that can be observed are the fact that in many of the independence movements, mass death occurred, such as in Vietnam and India, which had death tolls that exceeded one million. Another similarity that could be observed is the fact that the leaders of the independence movement often ended up being the elected leader of the country, such as Kwame Nkrumah and Hồ Chí Minh. When comparing historical events of different countries in different areas of the world, many differences and similarities can and will be found.
