Скачать или смотреть How Empires Lost Their Colonies (Very Different Ways)

After World War II, Europe’s empires began to collapse—but not in the same way.

Britain was exhausted and bankrupt, so it left many colonies quickly, often drawing rushed borders that caused future conflicts. France believed empire meant power, so it fought brutal wars in Algeria and Indochina. Portugal depended on its colonies and kept fighting in Africa until its government collapsed in 1974. The Netherlands tried to hold Indonesia, but eventually gave up.

Same world. Same moment in history.
Very different choices—and very different consequences.
