European History – 1945 to Present
Neocolonialism refers to the practice where former colonial powers maintain indirect control over their former colonies through economic, political, and cultural pressures rather than direct military or political rule. This concept is particularly relevant in the context of decolonization, as countries that gained independence often found themselves still influenced by their former colonizers, leading to new forms of exploitation and dependency.
