[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: MCFARLAND & CO INC], At the end of World War II, Britain possessed a vast African empire which encompassed nearly 2.7 million square miles, about 10 times larger than Britain itself. But by 1965, only three small African territories remained under British control, all of which would become independent before the end of 1968. This book examines the swift demise of Britain's African empire, looking particularly at the role played by the United States in bringing the empire to an end. It reveals how the United States was anti-colonial without being actively pro-independence, concluding that the country's policies and actions, combined with its postwar dominance, directly and indirectly contributed to the political, economic, and social transformation of Africa.Versandfertig in über 4 Wochen, [SC: 0.00]<
