AP World History: Modern
Unit 8 – Cold War & Decolonization (1900-Present)
Topic 8.5
What impact did decolonization have on global economic structures after 1900?
Decolonization led to a universal decline in global trading activities.
The emergence of new national economies disrupted existing colonial trade networks but also created opportunities for new forms of economic exploitation like neo-colonialism.
Former colonial powers continued to exert direct control over the economies of newly independent nations without any changes or adaptations.
All newly independent countries immediately became economically self-sufficient with no outside intervention or dependency whatsoever.
