INTRODUCTION
 Decolonization is a series of acts that means
getting rid of the colonial status of the society or
the country from the clutches or rule of some other
powerful nation or group. After World War II, many
European countries freed themselves from the
reigns of the powerful countries and headed
towards an Independent state.
