Popular Leftist myth:

Postwar decolonization was due to plucky brown Socialist rebels overthrowing their colonial overlords and sticking it to the evil White man. Western powers fought hard to defend their colonies because they were terrified by the combined might of Socialism and people of color.

Reality:

"Western powers" (now in the hands of globalists and libtards) supported non-White Socialist revolutionaries against their White governments in almost every anti-colonial revolutionary war, alongside the USSR and Communist China in many cases. Colonial governments didn't lose a single war but were forced to decolonize by combined economic warfare and political pressure from both Western and Communist powers. Some voluntarily decolonized to avoid war.
