| | About the Seminar on Decolonization |
 | | Decolonization is a multifaceted, complex historical phenomenon that has increasingly engaged the attention of historians in recent decades. | | | The dissolution of the western colonial empires has continued to be a critical historical problem because of the far-reaching cultural as well as economic and political effects of decolonization on the new states created in the latter part of the 20th century—and on the governments and societies of the European countries themselves. | | | After all, though the subject is international, there are distinctive national lines of scholarly pursuit in understanding the decline of empire and the emergence of the successor states. |

| | The Decolonization Reader. James D. Le Sueur (ed) |
| | Accordingly, decolonization cannot be understood by merely focusing on national politics and anticolonial politics, but it should include the challenges presented by history and postcolonial theorists. | | | “The Imperialism of Decolonization,” spells out how British and Americans sought to consistently manipulate the political climate in the colonies to serve their own interests and even challenge one another. | | | The part seven articles “Alcohol and Politics in Northern Rhodesia,” “Football and FIFA's African Constituency,” and “Licensing Leisure” all examine how nationalists channeled beliefs and energies devoted to social activities into instruments of liberation. |

| | Even in the face of all of this, we can still find individuals who remain in denial, pretending that there was no illegality in the overthrow of the Hawaiian nation, and refusing to accept the general societies recovery and rediscovery. | | | Whether by accident or fate, I was curious enough to take it from the shelf and examine those words left by Hawai`i=s Queen about 55 years before, telling of the conspiracy and overthrow of the Hawaiian nation. | | | Twenty years later, the subject of Hawaiian sovereignty is on the agenda of almost every politician because the vast majority of Native Hawaiians and the general public supports some form of Hawaiian sovereignty. |

| | DECOLONIZATION |
| | For many decolonized regions, their experience was and continues to be characterized by political turmoil, weakness of democratic structures, repressive governments (on the left and right), and even civil war. | | | The infectious and mobilizing spirit of nationalism was one of the primary fires that fueled independence movements against foreign European/U.S./Japanese rule. | | | Vietminh leadership followed the path of extreme governmental control, a repressive state system, and the pursuit of a forced socialist agenda for economic and cultural change. |

| | Decolonization in Latin America and Africa |
| | In conclusion, three main phenomena led to decolonization-- colonial desire for independence based on the successful emancipation of other nations, European distraction with international affairs, and native resentment against racial discrimination. | | | Because the mother countries had exercised full political control during colonization, political instability ensued after the colonial governing influence was gone. | | | According to dictionary.com, decolonization is "the action of changing from colonial to independent status." In addition to the causes which led to Latin American decolonization were Allied promises after World War II, limited higher education for a few individuals, and the unstoppable forces of nationalism. |

| | France's colonies in Asia were obliterated by the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China during the Second World War. | | | For all the White countries which engaged in decolonization, the most immediate consequence has been the influx of a large number of former colonized peoples into the former colonizers' homelands: all across Europe there are millions of Africans and Asians who have been drawn to the continent purely because of the ex-colonial link. | | | Nonetheless, the first step had to be taken: the Labour Party government in Britain which had replaced Winston Churchill's government at the first election after the war, formally acknowledged that the era of the Empire was over. |

| | WAYS MUST BE EXPLORED TO ACCELERATE DECOLONIZATION PROCESS, SPECIAL COMMITTEE TOLD |
| | The decolonization process, which was enormously influential in determining the political shape of the world and the membership of the United Nations, required further exploration of ways to accelerate the self-governing status of the 16 remaining Territories, Deputy Secretary-General Louise Fréchette said today, as the Special Committee on Decolonization opened its substantive session. | | | Many said that decolonization was a bygone issue, he said. The Special Committee must work to make that a reality in the Second Decade. The Committee must continue to carry the banner for those remaining on the list. | | | He said that implementation of the General Assembly’s resolutions and decisions both by Member States and the United Nations system itself would ensure success in bringing to fruition the United Nations unfinished decolonization agenda. |
