Minchanka [31]3 years ago
3 0

<em>The spirit of independence spread to other countries as well. </em><em>Burma </em><em>and </em><em>Sri Lanka</em><em> too gained independence after </em><em>India </em><em>and </em><em>Pakistan.</em><em> </em>

<em>The British PM in 60's, </em><u><em>Mr. Harold Macmillan</em></u><em> visited some of the British colonies. And he made the significant '</em><em>Winds of change'</em><em> speech. He said: </em>

<em> </em>

<em>The wind of change is blowing through this continent. Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact.</em><em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Britain then announced their departure from Palestine where the Jews and Palestinians fought like in undivided India. In Malayan peninsula also the people asked for freedom. But there communists also played a role. With support from USA, the British crushed the communist insurgency effectively. The countries Sudan, Gold coast and Malayan peninsula was granted independence in 50s. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Reluctance of Churchill and Conservative party to grant independence </em>

<em>When Winston Churchill's conservative party won elections in 50's his party was still not in favor of granting independence. He declared that he didn't want to preside over another decolonization of the empire. But events changed and that's what was mentioned by Harold Macmillan in his Winds of change speech. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>In 60's Britain gave independence to colonies in Africa, except Rhodesia. </em>

<em>The Caribbean colonies were given independence in 60's. The case in Rhodesia was that the White leader Ian Smith announced unilateral independence. Further revolution took place in Rhodesia and in 1980 that country got a new name Zimbabwe and became independent.</em>

<em>Hope you found this useful!</em>

<em>THANK YOU!!</em>

2. Why do you think Trade created cultural diffusion?
stepan [7]

Answer:

Cultural diffusion is when one part of a culture moves to another.  I think cultural diffusion works when cultures become trade partners.  A trait can travel over great distances because of travel.  I think one cultural trait that would be passed is a language.

or

Cultural diffusion is the spread of cultural beliefs and social activities from one group of people to another. A trait could travel great distances due to migration to another place. Traits that can be passed down are food, religion, and clothing.  

Hope this Helps!

McCarthyism in the 1950s is most closely associated with
ohaa [14]

Answer:

McCarthyism in the 1950s is most closely associated with <em><u>Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy.</u></em>

Explanation:

Joseph McCarthy was a key figure during the early years of the Cold War. He was one of the first American political figures, and easily the most vocal one, to publicly state that Communist sympathized had infiltrated the United States government.

His nation-wide fame brought about the term 'McCarthyism' a practice where any can be labelled as a traitor and communist without any evidence.
