Concept information
Preferred term
decolonization
Definition
- Decolonization technically refers to the breakup of empires, generally the European ones that took shape starting in the 16th century, and the formal independence of the former colonies. Just as colonialism began unevenly over the surface of the earth, so too did it end unevenly. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Geography; Decolonization]
