Discussion
In the process of decolonisation, consider the following statements :
1) Self Government for white settler colonies
2) Formal end to empire followed by independent rule
3) Formal empire replaced by informal empire
4) Mere change of imperial masters.
Which statement given above are correct ?
Answer: B
The key takes statements 1 and 2, so the answer is 1 and 2 only.
Decolonisation as a process took two broad forms. The white settler colonies such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand moved to self-government and dominion status, and the colonies of Asia and Africa saw a formal end to empire followed by independent rule.
Statements 3 and 4 describe what critics of the process call neo-colonialism: formal rule giving way to informal economic domination, or one imperial master simply replacing another. They are criticisms of what followed, not the process of decolonisation itself, so the key leaves them out.
