This updated Seminar Study provides an overview of the process of British decolonisation. At the end of the Second World War the empire still spanned the globe and yet by the mid-1960s most of Britain's major dependencies had achieved independence.Concisely and accessibly, the book introduces students to this often dramatic story of colonial wars and emergencies, and fraught international relations.
