Answer: ...have obtained independence during post-war period (during 1950s, 1960s and 1970s).
Explanation: we have to include Dutch (Surinam for example), French (Algeria or Vietnam), Belgian (Kongo-Kinshassa) or Portuguese (Angola, Mozambique) colonies. This process included return of white-Europeans colonists back to Europe: the biggest return was that of Algerian French (Pieds-Noirs) and later (not so big) European whites from Portuguese territories (1974-1975-1976).
Answer:
The grain size
Explanation:
The grain size can provide lot of clues for us when it comes to the formation of the rocks, the conditions in which they formed, and even what happened after their initial formation. The reason for this is that the grains vary in size and shape depending on the conditions in which the rocks formed. If the magma/lava cooled of quickly, the grains will be very small, almost unnoticeable, and that is a sign that the cooling appeared on the surface, very close to it, or in the presence of water. On the other hand, if the magma cooled slowly, the grains will be large and well defined, and that is a sign that the magma was cooling off slowly, deep into the crust, where there's higher temperature and pressure.
In addition to a desire for economic profit, nationalism also served as a reason for colonization. After the French Revolution, European nations had a strong sense of national pride, and felt that in order to prove themselves as a strong world power, they would need to gain control of other countries.
