Question

The end of Imperialism was always a peaceful transition of power.
A. true
B. false

Answer 1

False--the transition of an imperial power to a independent state was typically quite violent.

For many countries the end of imperialism came with a war for independence such as Vietnam, India, Afghanistan, all of Latin America. For other countries, European imperialism ended but left ethnic groups in flux leading to violent struggles for power such as in Rwanda.
