What were the major decolonization movements in Southeast Asia and Europe?

In Southeast Asia, the major decolonization movements were:

1. Indonesian National Revolution: This movement led to the independence of Indonesia from Dutch colonial rule in 1949. It involved various political and military struggles against the Dutch colonial administration.

2. Vietnamese Independence Movement: The Vietnamese fought against French colonial rule, leading to the First Indochina War (1946-1954). The movement culminated in the Geneva Accords, which divided Vietnam into North and South Vietnam, eventually leading to the Vietnam War.

3. Malayan Independence Movement: The Malayan National Liberation Army fought against British colonial rule in Malaya (now Malaysia) from 1948 to 1960. The movement resulted in the independence of Malaya in 1957.

In Europe, the major decolonization movements were:

1. Indian Independence Movement: Led by Mahatma Gandhi and other nationalist leaders, this movement aimed at ending British colonial rule in India. It resulted in the partition of India and the creation of independent India and Pakistan in 1947.

2. Algerian War of Independence: Algerians fought against French colonial rule from 1954 to 1962. The movement resulted in the independence of Algeria.

3. Portuguese Colonial War: This movement involved armed conflicts between Portugal and its African colonies, particularly Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau, from 1961 to 1974. The movement led to the independence of these colonies.

These are just a few examples of the major decolonization movements in Southeast Asia and Europe.
