Nationalist Leader: Juan Domingo Perón was for some the creator of a disastrous populism for the country and the father of all social conquests, the man who knew how to restore dignity to workers.
Armed Struggle: Between 1930 and 1976, the armed forces overthrew six governments in Argentina; and the country alternated periods of democracy with periods of restricted democracy and military rule.

Consequences of Independence: In the 20th century, Argentina experienced significant political turmoil and democratic reversals. Following a democratization that began in 1983,  full-scale democracy in Argentina was reestablished.

Process of Decolonization
Nationalist leader: Kwame Nkruhmah was the main leader and advocate for independence in Ghana. He was a Pan-Africanist and a uniter. He was the FIRST prime minister and President of Ghana who led Ghana (The Gold Coast) to independence in 1957.
Armed Struggle:  Ghana’s decolonization did not involve military confrontation especially when compared with African countries such as Algeria and South Africa, in addition, Kwame Nkrumah was a Pan-Africanist on the left wing, these factors led to the decolonization process. There was first hand, many traditional anti-colonial protests, then there was the post WWII and the emergence of the United Gold Coast Convention, the era of radicalism and the emergence of the Convention People’s Party. Declaration of Self-government and Independence was one of the last aspects of decolonization.
Consequences of Independence:  Ghana mostly had a peaceful decolonization process. Ghana (formely Gold Coast) redrawn many of its territories after independence from British rule. The Gold Coast of Ghana originally established in 1901 reclaimed stolen land from the British and split it’s northern, southern and central regions into various ethnic groups.

Nationalist Leader
Julius Nyerere was an anti-colonial activist who advocated for a non-violent route to independence. He was prime minister and president of Tanganyika and then the first president of its successor state Tanzania when it formed.
Peaceful Transition
Tanzania peacefully gained independence in 1961 after the Tanganyika African National Union negotiated with the British authorities.
Consequences of Independence
After gaining independence from the monarchy, Tanganyika remade its boundaries to join with the Republic of Zanzibar.
Tanzania suffered greatly from poverty after gaining self-determination, despite Julius Nyerere implementing Socialist ideas into the government.

Process of Decolonization
Nationalist Leader:  Yasser Arafat
Peaceful transition: British army leaves after an administrative council was established
Consequences of Independence: Arab-Israeli War 

After World War 1, France was granted a mandate over a portion of the Ottoman Empire, including Syria. The French mandatory administration carried out much of the country’s work but found difficulty preparing Syria for self-government. French officials didn’t hand power to the Muslim majority in a way where the Christians would think the French were giving up their traditional policy of protecting the Christians of the Levent. 

Process of Decolonization

In 1936, France and Syria negotiated a treaty of independence, which allowed Syria to remain independent but gave France military and economic power. Even though Syria was granted freedom peacefully, the years following were not. Many military and government coups were held in Syria, causing instability. Syria joined Egypt in the Pan-Arabism movement, becoming the United Arab Republic, but the union shortly split in 1961. The 60s brought on more military coups, revolts, and riots. In 1963, the Arab Socialist Ba’ath party seized power of Syria in a coup known as the Ba’ath revolution. Hafez al-Assad, who was the minister of defense, had overthrown the leader of Syria and was credited for strengthening the Syrian military. Syria has had political issues that lead up to even today due to differing views on how the humanitarian crisis, caused by many military coups and interferences, should be taken care of, and has also had issues of multiple rebels forming.

Type of decolonization/reform: Non-violent protests and campaigns led by Mahatma Gandhi helped initiate a peaceful transition of power. Due to the aftermath of WWII, Britain grew weaker and India’s ability to fight grew stronger, and that’s when Britain realized that they no longer had the ability to rule India. 

Consequences of decolonization/reform:

Consequences of decolonization include religious turmoil that resulted in hundreds of deaths in the first few days of independence and eventually turned into hundreds of thousands that included Gandhi who was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic in January 1948. 

 Before Sri Lanka was colonized by Great Britain, they had been colonized twice before. First by the Portuguese and then by the Dutch. Portugal colonized Sri Lanka for trading purposes. They lost power in Sri Lanka when the Dutch expelled them and began occupying the country. The Dutch ruling in Sri Lanka was also based on trade, and was implemented through the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch ruling ended when Great Britain became the imperial power in Sri Lanka. They gained this power through the British East India Company. British ruling came to an end when Sri Lanka (Ceylon) became independent.

Nationalist Leader- Don Stephen Senanayake was the leader of the Sri Lankan independence movement, and became the first prime minister of Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in 1947. 

Peaceful Transition of Power- Sri Lanka’s move to independence was a peaceful transition of power. For years Sri Lanka fought for independence and rights through movements and riots such as the Riot of 1915, the Youth Leagues, and the Suriya-Mal Movement. Sri Lanka (Ceylon) became independent in 1948.

Consequences of Independence- Once Sri Lanka was freed, consequences of this shift to independence were seen. Some of these consequences were a weak political structure, economic challenges, and eventually a civil war beginning in the 1980s.

Hong Kong was originally ruled by China under the Qin dynasty, during this time China was fighting the British Empire in the Second Opium War. After the war the British Empire negotiated with China for Hong Kong due to the efficiency of trade because of Hong Kong’s location. Both came to the agreement that the British Empire would control Hong Kong for 99 years, then be given back to China. This arrangement was successfully exempt for a brief period during World War 2 when Hong Kong was controlled by Japan but eventually the British Empire gained back control. 

Process of decolonization: 

China allowed for Hong Kong to have both political and social power after being persuaded by the British government. So after 99 years of British control Hong Kong was given back control and governed using a “one country, two systems'' philosophy. However citizens in Hong Kong fear that China will use its power to take away Hongkongers freedoms. This has caused mass protests from the citizens against China many of these protests have been met with violence from Chinese police. 

-New leader called Indonesia a “new order” and occupied East Timor for 25 years while violating human rights.

Process of decolonization:
Nigeria's decolonization was initially peaceful. The british struggled to keep Nigeria under their rule and Nigeria was able to get their independence in 1960.

Consequences:
The leaders of the post-independence nationalists were primarily responsible for overseeing the transition of a corporate machine put up by Britain. Nigerians were treated as workers in the industrial enterprise by successive leaders. They failed to recognize and respect Nigerians as legitimate entities with fundamental rights to live and develop in their communities with the resources available to them. A business state based on violence can only breed more violence. Following independence, military coups were plainly attempts to capture or seize the industrial state. The Nigeria-Biafra war, as well as Boko Haram's and the Niger Delta militancy's continuous terrorism, are more examples of the colonial enterprise's effects.
