1) Decolonization occurred for several reasons including the desire for independence from colonial powers, the emergence of national identities, loss of prestige among colonial powers, and growing international opposition to colonialism.
2) India gained independence from Britain in 1947 through non-violent movements led by Gandhi.
3) Many Asian and African colonies also fought for and gained independence after World War 2, encouraged by the success of Asian independence movements. African countries now also sought freedom from colonial rule.

5. Introduction
• The land known as Palestine had, by 1947, seen
considerable immigration of Jewish people fleeing
persecution. Zionist Jews were particularly in favour of
getting Palestine as a new Jewish homeland.
• The local Palestinian population of Muslim Arabs felt that
the influx of newcomers was threatening their way of life.
• Clashes between the Arabic and Jewish populations had
been frequent and bloody.
• The British rulers of Palestine decided on a repression of
the Arabic people to keep peace. By 1947 this had
achieved an unhappy calm among all three groups.

The Canal found a new role in oil transportation between Europe
and the Middle East. This made it hugely important for
developed countries-like Britain- who were dependent on oil.

organisation to promote itself in 1964- with the
assistance of the Arab League (all the Arab
nations).
