Question

Which of the following is/are not the consequences of the World Wars?

• A. European countries economy weakened.
• B. Colonisation of Asia and Africa increased.
• C. UN replaced League of Nations
• D. Around 25 million military casualties and 52 million civilian casualties.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Colonisation of Asia and Africa increased.

Post the World Wars, the European nations could not afford to hold on to their colonies in Africa and Asia. The African and Asian countries fought against them and gained their independence. One of the prime reasons behind India's independence was also the weakening of Britain after the Second World War. By 1950, along with India, countries like Nigeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China, became independent.
