History

Basic answer: Over expansion

Germany had been deprived of its colonies at the end of WW1 and the vast number of islands the Japanese had captured had been liberated by the US. This led to these places gaining their independence. The main reason though was the British Empire which in a way dissolved. No longer did the sun never set on the British Empire. Basically with the prime example being India The British realized that in a modern world there were other world powers and they had too much land to protect. They had troops in every colony from Atlantic to Pacific and simply couldn’t defend their whole country. This whole idea was brought out by the Second World War and thus after the war many countries gained their independence.

What was the main point of contention between backcountry and tidewater virginia?
Jlenok [28]

Lack of support and representation in the colonial government.

Backcountry settlers in Virginia were living on the western edge of the colony near the Appalachian Mountains. The settlers of the tidewaters lived on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the Virginia colony and many were original settlers or related to the original settlers. The coast is where the government was located as well as towns.

The backcountry settlers were struggling to be heard by the coastal leaders on the issues they were having on the frontier. One of the main issues of concern were the attacks by Native Americans on the frontier line. The backcountry settlers wanted more support from the government and the government was not receptive. This caused rebellion in the backcountry against the coastal government. The most famous of rebellions was Bacon's Rebellion when Nathaniel Bacon brought together backcountry settlers against the coastal government members.
