Decolonization Abandonment

             De-colonization began with the British colonists in the United States
             who declared independence in 1776. Most of Latin America gained
             independence a few decades later. De-colonization continued through the
             mid-1970s, mostly in Asia and Africa, until almost no European colonies
             remained. Most of the newly independent states have faced tremendous
             challenges and difficulties in the post-colonial era. The stability and
             harmony of de-colonized countries are not guaranteed once the countries

             necessary to the economic equilibrium of the region. By meeting the
             demands of the people, a higher standard of living is achieved.
             All citizens benefit from security arrangements when the territories
             host colonial security forces (Plunkett n.p.). It is guaranteed that the
             colony will be protected by the armed forces available if there ever is a
             case of war. This is possible as every state has a right and obligation to
             defend its colonies (Cunningham n.p.). The people of a majority of the
             territories no longer view, if they ever did, the activities of foreign
