殖民地半殖民地民族解放运动的高涨是第二次世界大战后世界史的一大特点。过去几个世纪形成的世界性的殖民体系在二战后开始瓦解了。在反殖民主义斗争浪潮的冲击下,殖民体系的堤坝一块块坍塌。首先,在亚洲,然后在中东和非洲,继而又在拉美和大洋洲。一批又一批新兴的民族独立国家登上了国际政治舞台。他们拥有世界人口的绝大多数,对世界历史的发展有深刻的影响。这里我们先从亚洲讲起。 The rise of the colonial and semi-colonial national liberation movements is a major feature of world history after the Second World War. The world-wide colonial system formed over the past few centuries began to collapse after World War II. Under the impact of the anti-colonial struggle, the dams of the colonial system collapsed. First in Asia, then in the Middle East and Africa, then in Latin America and Oceania. A batch of emerging ethnic independent countries boarded the international political arena. They possess the overwhelming majority of the world’s population and have a profound impact on the development of world history. Here we start from Asia.
