Question

match each decolonization strategy with the correct example. withdrawing quickly and abandoning the colony allowing independence only after a long conflict working with independent states in a formal association portugal – angola united kingdom – many colonies belgium – the congo

Explanation:

1. For "withdrawing quickly and abandoning the colony": Belgium's decolonization of the Congo was relatively abrupt as Belgium withdrew rapidly from the Congo. So this strategy matches "Belgium – the Congo".
2. For "allowing independence only after a long conflict": Portugal's decolonization of Angola involved a long - drawn - out conflict (the Angolan War of Independence) before Angola gained independence. So this strategy matches "Portugal – Angola".
3. For "working with independent states in a formal association": The United Kingdom, with many of its former colonies, has relationships like the Commonwealth, which is a formal association of independent states. So this strategy matches "United Kingdom – many colonies".

Answer:

• withdrawing quickly and abandoning the colony: Belgium – the Congo
• allowing independence only after a long conflict: Portugal – Angola
• working with independent states in a formal association: United Kingdom – many colonies
