Description:

Today we’re talking about decolonization, one of the most important undercurrents and/or parallel events to the Cold War. Although the decolonization process of each country was unique, there were certainly some common themes in this period that we’ll look at.

Decolonization spread the Cold War throughout the world and really turned it into a global affair. Just like the world was “up for grabs” during the age of imperialism, it immediately became up for grabs again in the struggle between Communism and the West, often with bloody results.
