The period of traditional colonialism ended

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Traditional colonialism largely ended during the aftermath of World War II, as European powers were weakened and less able to maintain control over their colonies. Many countries, including India and various African nations, gained independence during this time period. While the defeat of France in 1871 and the Spanish defeat in Cuba in 1898 marked significant events in the decline of colonialism, they were not significant enough to fully end traditional colonialism. The years 1912 and 1932 do not correspond to any significant events in the decline of colonialism. Therefore, C is the best answer choice.
