“Variously called the struggle for independence or decolonization, that process carried an immense significance for the history of the twentieth century. It marked a dramatic change in the world’s political architecture, as nation-states triumphed over empires that had structured much of African and Asian life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It mobilized millions of people, thrusting them into political activity and sometimes into violence and warfare. Decolonization signaled the declining legitimacy of both empire and race as credible bases for political or social life. It promised not only national freedom but also personal dignity, abundance, and opportunity” (Ways of the World, 1087/1088 2nd Edition/1082 1st Edition)\nReflecting on the quote above, please compare and contrast the decolonization efforts of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East in the twentieth century. What factors led to these decolonization movements? In what ways were decolonization efforts around the world similar? In what ways were the decolonization efforts of various regions unique? How did lead to the creation of the “Global South” and is this a useful or problematic term?\nGuidelines:\n1. The paper should be between 4 to 10 pages in length.
