Abstract
The paper explores decolonization and revolution and their relationship with independence in the Caribbean. The assignment itself focuses on the Dominican Republic and Haiti; two countries sharing the same island who have a had a different experiences with independence.
From the Paper
"The various countries that are now collectively known as the Caribbean were originally European colonies. Eventually almost all of them have become independent nations. However, they have taken different routes to become independent nations. The two most common routes are revolution and decolonization. Although there are many similarities between these two phenomena there are also important differences. To demonstrate these differences we will look at how two Caribbean countries got their independence. The countries that will be examined are Haiti and the Dominican Republic."

Abstract
In this paper, the process of self-determination in pacific region island nations has been analyzed through the process of decolonization under international law. Although larger islands (and their associated island chains) like the Philippines had been granted independence through their colonizers in the United States, it is clear that the long and arduous process of decolonization is still an ongoing issue for the realization of independent nationhood.

Abstract
This paper discusses the decolonization of India, and argues that internal factors - most notably the gradual handing-over of more and more power to Indian political elites in the Legislative Councils of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century India - played as large a role as any other in the decolonization of India. Of especial import, the paper will look at how collective memory, while well-concealed during the apogee of British might in the last-half of the nineteenth century, fueled underground resistance to British rule. More than that, the next several pages will explore how the rise of nationalist associations in the last-quarter or so of the nineteenth century and a series of reforms by the British - the 1861 Indian Councils Act, the 1892 Act and (most significantly) the sweeping Morley-Minto reforms of 1909 in response to the foolishness of former Viceroy George Curzon - all led to India being slowly introduced to responsible government and to the parliamentary traditions which would sustain it when it became wholly independent after the Second World War. In the end, Great Britain was compelled to respond, albeit in piecemeal fashion, to populist agitation time and again, and each time it made a concession its once seemingly unassailable grip on India was weakened.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that De Gaulle was clear that decolonization served the interests of France. The writer points out that the British Labor Party took the same approach, but was more benevolent. The writer discusses that the statements made by de Gaulle and during the British debate were inevitable and that behind the scenes, international events, and especially World War II, had and were making a massive impact. The writer shows that decolonization took place within the context of a profoundly changing world with new and very pressing demands.
From the Paper
"There are several striking similarities between De Gaulle's justifications for decolonization and those expressed by the members of British parliament. There also are several very important differences. De Gaulle was clear that decolonization served the interests of France. The British Labor Party took the same approach, but was more benevolent. The statements made by de Gaulle and during the British debate were inevitable. Behind the scenes, international events, and especially World War II, had and were making a massive impact. Decolonization took place within the context of a profoundly changing world with new and very pressing demands."

Abstract
The paper examines the primary differences between Haitian revolutionary theory and the decolonization theory of Jamaican independence in this study of Caribbean. The paper relates that by making a focus of the differing aspects of revolutionary theory involved in the Haitian slave uprising of 1804, it becomes possible to realize that Haitians have a tradition of self-governing that immediately applied direct rule by the slaves.

Abstract
This paper explains that the most notable internal factors influencing the decolonization of India is the gradual handing-over of more and more power to Indian political elites in the Legislative Councils of India in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century. The author points out how collective memory, while well-concealed during the apogee of British might in the last-half of the nineteenth century, also fueled underground resistance to British rule. The paper explores how the rise of nationalist associations and a series of reforms by the British - the 1861 Indian Councils Act, the 1892 Act and most significantly the sweeping Morley-Minto reforms of 1909 in response to the foolishness of former Viceroy George Curzon - led to India being slowly introduced to responsible government and to the parliamentary traditions, which would sustain it when it became wholly independent after the Second World War.
From the Paper
"It is axiomatic that empires cost a lot of money; it is also axiomatic that empires eventually must respond to the demands and concerns of the repressed - at least somewhat - or destructive rebellion, the disruption of trade and commodity production, and a general rise in hostilities will result. For the British, the 1857 Uprising and the subsequent 1861 Councils Act were only the first steps towards recognizing that the cultural imperialism of the past was no longer going to suffice as the twentieth century drew nigh. To wit, in 1892 a revised Indian Councils Act was passed that permitted "local comment" and criticism for legislation passed by the provincial legislative councils."

Abstract
The paper discusses how even where newly independent countries in the region explicitly disavowed the influence of the imperial powers that had shaped Latin America, their means and vocabulary of resistance were inescapably shaped by policies and discourses emerging from Europe and the United States. This paper offers an overview of how the very possibility of a truly 'indigenous' Latin American decolonization was pre-empted by colonialism, and then considers the individual cases of Chile, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia as specific examples of this phenomenon.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the major problem within post-colonial racism is that it occurs within a white hegemonic system that devalues the identity of racial or ethnic characteristics in minorities. The paper examines the analysis of Hall and Fanon and how they show the need to provide two critical categories for a resolution of this problem; de-colonization and a multicultural policy agenda.

Abstract
The paper discusses how in the view of many, or most, historians, nationalism and imperialism are opposite concepts. The paper explains that nationalism is loyalty to the local group, to people joined together by kinship, by language, by custom, by religion, and by other local factors. The paper then explains that imperialism had a cultural basis of loyalty to the idea of the empire, and imperial governments tried to develop loyalty, by various means, to the empire over local loyalties. This paper compares both concepts.

This had increasingly limited success. In the home countries, even though..."
