So the English, French, and Americans couldn't very well say to the colonial troops who'd fought alongside them, thank you so much for helping us to thwart Germany's imperialistic ambitions, as a reward, please hand in your rifle and return to your state of subjugation. Plus, most of the big colonial powers, especially France, Britain, and Japan, had been significantly weakened by World War II, by which I mean that large swaths of them looked like this. So post-war decolonization happened all over the place. The British colony that had once been India became three independent nations. By the way, is this Gandhi or is this Ben Kingsley playing Gandhi? In Southeast Asia, French Indochina became Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. And the Dutch East Indies became Indonesia.
