11. Conclusion Politics and Economics under Imperialism
The peoples of sub-Saharan Africa and India remained under colonial rule after the war. Elites in these regions worked toward independence while ordinary people wanted social justice.
Though politically independent, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil were economically tied to industrializing nations. Argentina and Brazil moved toward economic independence but fell victim to social unrest, militarism, and dictatorship in the process.
The Problems of Independence
Though India finally gained independence from colonial rule, the country was torn apart by ethnic conflict.
The desire for independence did not always unite people against colonial rulers because of the social, ethnic, and religious divisions within their populations.
