The growth and evolution of the world took place, in large part, due to colonization and imperialism deployed between the 1400s and 1900s by the European nations. This was so because these nations, through their expansion and domination of territories throughout the planet, transmitted certain technologies, ideologies and knowledge that allowed the development of new nations and populations in these colonial territories.
Thus, for example, British colonization allowed the emergence of economically and politically powerful nations such as Australia, Canada or the United States, nations that inherited the development established by Great Britain and that consolidated in the modern world as benchmarks of civic well-being and economic stability.
In 1929, the British were still refusing to discuss Indian independence. Many Indians protested the British tax on salt by marching to the sea to make their own salt.
