What to Focus On

  • Britain had the largest empire by area in 1945.
  • France had the second largest empire.
  • Transjordan and Palestine were mandated territories under Britain; Syria was a mandated territory under France.

  • The metropolitan thesis stresses outside pressures in Europe itself.
  • Nationalist movements were a major force in ending empire.
  • The Second World War weakened European control and inspired colonial peoples.

  • Indian nationalism had been active since 1885.
  • The reforms of 1909, 1919 and 1935 increased Indian participation in government.
  • Religious division between Hindus and Muslims became the key political problem.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

India and Pakistan became independent only after a long, peaceful transfer of power with no major violence.

Partition happened because Britain wanted to divide India, so the violence was mainly Britain’s direct fault.

Lord Wavell and Lord Mountbatten played the same role in Indian independence.

Memory Tips

Europe still controlled huge colonial empires in 1945

Britain was the largest empire by area; France was second largest

British colonial independence sequence in Asia and nearby territories

India and Pakistan gained independence in 1947; Burma and Ceylon in 1948
