Decolonization has changed major parts of society in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The decolonization of Africa has good and bad sides, the good side is that the African people’s were liberated and free from colonial oppression. He had side to the decolonization of Africa is that the African lands will no longer receive some of the financial support and population that some European nations provided. The colonization of Asia mainly consisted of Oceania and the areas bordering India and Indochina. Like Africa, the people were liberated and freed from foreign rule, but they lost the little to any financial aid they received. The Europeans went to unknown lands to colonize, expand, and make tons of money, they heavily invested in cash crops. The decolonization left these nations sticking to one industry making them a breeding ground for dictators and extreme ideologies. The same two things I mentioned with Africa and Asia apply to the Middle East, the European nations that did have colonies there only saw it as land where oil is stored.
