At the end of world war 1 many countries arised as a result of empires ending. Colonial rule was now being seen by political order. The people wanted their independence and did not view colonial rule as they did in the past. This allowed them to make profitable economic interests in Africa and Asia. The process included elections, writing constitutions, investments, and political reforms. As counties started to declare independence, poverty also arised.
In 1910, South Africa gained independence from Britain. South Africa was and industrial economy and based on diamond/gold mining. The white minority had the control at this time and majority of the Africans worked in the mines and for the white people. The Africans had a hard time achieving economic development as well as new independent countries. Economic development represented a rise in global culture modernity.
