Africa, Asia, Latin and South America consist today of “independent and sovereign” nation-states with few exceptions (US and UK held territories). Many, if not all, gained their independence after a resistance movement against colonial powers over the past 80-plus years, but the constant intervention and domination in the economies and politics of these nations leave questions about the end of colonialism. Because direct colonialism has mostly come to an end, why continue to speak of colonialism? It is way back in history!
