In this video Heimler walks you through Unit 8 topic 6 (8.6) of AP World History. It has to do with how newly independent states, after the wave of decolonization, handled their independence.
In this video we’ll consider the new states of Israel, Cambodia, and India/Pakistan. Also we’ll consider how leaders in these new states led their economies with heavy hands, and often socialist hands. Included here are the states of Sri Lanka and Tanzania.
Additionally we’ll briefly look at migration to metropoles during this period. Metropoles are the home territories of former imperial powers, and significant numbers of people moved from their home states to the metropoles and this had the effect of linking imperial powers with their former colonies economically and socially.
