Some of the Europeans argued for the end of colonization whereas others argued for continued colonization and the exploitation of the existing resources. The decolonization process was challenging as some nations had adapted well to the regions and people they had colonized. China and Asia advocated for communism in the countries they governed. European countries to a large extent opposed the spread of communism. Countries decided to either pursue communism or the capitalist philosophies after the Second World War. The end of the Second World War led to the creation of a new political Climate in Africa, increased civil wars in Africa and reduced scramble e and partition for African Nations. African nations were prepared for self-administration as colonization slowly came to an end. The Americans supported and integrated with the European countries to en
...courage productivity and technological innovation.
The period after the second world followed a period of the cold war between the West and the East. The US set plans to contain the expansion of the ideologies initiated by the USSR. The USSR and China had spent massive resources in the war and were committed to rebuilding their economies. The US monitored and tried to influence Chinese policies. China propagated the communist ideals which the US was against. After the war, Europe stabilized its borders completely. It happened after the USSR emerged and Hitler under German subdued. This fact meant that the country took diplomacy a bit more serious and opted for lesser severe punishments like the use sanctions and embargoes unlike the use of military force. Instead of the previous behavior of competing with other nations to find out who is better after
some years, Europe worked together with other European countries to promote harmony and peace. This aspect contributed to the European Union formation. The war had pushed Europe backward, but the US tried to restore it. The empires that had developed before the war were ruined and later came to an end.
