Between the two World Wars, the colonial regime was confronted with the Indian nationalist movements. As a result, independence was granted by Britain in 1947, a cataclysmic event for the colonized world. The reality was that peaceful decolonization process never existed and the independence of Britain had dramatic consequences.
Klappentext zu „Decolonization and the Struggle for National Liberation in India (1909-1971) “
At the end of the First World War, the Raj remained economically or even strategically more central than ever in the general colonial architecture of the British Empire. Yet, between the two World Wars, the colonial regime hung only by a thread when confronted with the rising popularity of the nationalist movements. As a result, independence was granted in 1947 to this major component of the Empire, a truly cataclysmic event for the remainder of the world. This reality conflicts with the idea that a well-managed, peaceful decolonization process was launched by the British authorities. The independence of British India proceeded at the same speed as the Partition of British India which had both immediate and distant, but surely terrible, consequences like the 1971 war with Pakistan over Bangladesh.
