Title
- The End of European Colonial Empires
Summary
- One of the great themes of 20th century history is the end of European colonial empires. William Roger Louis, founding director of the National History Center, discussed the topic in a lecture sponsored by the Library's John W. Kluge Center and the National History Center, and was presented in conjunction with the History Center's Second International Research Seminar on Decolonization, held in Washington, D.C., from July 9 through Aug. 4. The lecture, titled "The End of European Colonial Empires," examined the creation of post-colonial states in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. What was the nature of European colonial rule? What are the legacies of the British, French, Dutch, German, Belgian, Portuguese and Spanish colonial systems?
