Dekolonisasi Asia

kemerdekaan berbagai negara di Asia dari kekuatan Eropa Barat, sebagian besar pada abad ke-20

Dekolonisasi Asia adalah perkembangan bertahap gerakan kemerdekaan di benua Asia, yang pada akhirnya menyebabkan hengkangnya kekuatan asing dan pembentukan sejumlah negara-bangsa di kawasan tersebut. Sejumlah peristiwa menjadi katalis perubahan ini, yang paling penting adalah Perang Dunia Kedua. Sebelum Perang Dunia II, beberapa negara seperti Filipina pada tahun 1898 telah memproklamasikan kemerdekaan dari Spanyol. Negara pertama yang didekolonisasi adalah Filipina pada tahun 1898, dan yang terakhir adalah Timor Leste pada tahun 2002 dari penjajahan Indonesia.

Latar Belakang

Mundurnya Spanyol dan Portugal pada abad ke-17 telah membuka jalan bagi kekuatan Eropa lainnya, yaitu Belanda, Prancis, dan Inggris. Portugal akan kehilangan pengaruh di semua kecuali tiga koloninya, yaitu Portugis India, Makau, dan Timor.

Pada akhir abad ke-17, Belanda telah mengambil alih sebagian besar koloni Portugis lama, dan telah membangun kehadiran yang kuat di Indonesia saat ini, dengan koloni di Aceh, Banten, Makassar, dan Jakarta. Belanda juga memiliki hubungan dagang dengan Siam, Jepang, Cina, dan Benggala.

Inggris telah bersaing dengan Portugis, Spanyol, dan Belanda untuk kepentingan mereka di Asia sejak awal abad ke-17 dan pada pertengahan abad ke-19 menguasai sebagian besar India (melalui Perusahaan Hindia Timur Britania), serta Burma, Ceylon, Malaya, dan Singapura. Setelah Pemberontakan India tahun 1857, Ratu Victoria dinyatakan sebagai Permaisuri India, dengan demikian memperkuat kekuasaan Inggris di anak benua tersebut. Akuisisi Inggris di Asia adalah Wilayah Baru Hong Kong, yang disewa dari Kaisar Dinasti Qing pada tahun 1897, memperluas koloni Inggris yang awalnya diserahkan dalam Perjanjian Nanking pada tahun 1842.

Prancis tidak banyak berhasil di India menyusul kekalahan melawan Inggris pada abad ke-17, meskipun mereka menguasai harta benda di pantai timur India (seperti Pondicherry dan Mahar) hinnga dekolonisasi. Prancis mendirikan koloni mereka yang paling menguntungkan da substansial di Indochina pada tahun 1862, akhirnya menduduki wilayah Vietnam, Laos, dan Kamboja saat ini pada tahun 1887.

Koloni Jepang yang pertama adalah Taiwan, diduduki pada tahun 1874 dan secara resmi diserahkan oleh Kaisar Dinasti Qing pada tahun 1894. Jepang melanjutkan imperialisme awalnya dengan aneksasi Korea pada tahun 1910

Amerika Serikat memasuki wilayah tersebut pada tahun 1898 selama Perang Spanyol-Amerika, merebut Filipina sebagai satu-satunya koloninya melalui pertempuran pura-pura di ibukota dan pembelian Filipina dari Spanyol setelah deklarasi kemerdekaan dan Repubilk Filipina Pertama.

  3. ^ Not celebrated as a holiday. On 28 February 1922 the British government issued the Unilateral Declaration of Egyptian Independence. Through this declaration, the British government unilaterally ended its protectorate over Egypt and granted it nominal independence except four "reserved" areas: foreign relations, communications, the military and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.[1] The Anglo-Egyptian treaty of 1936 reduced British involvement, but still was not welcomed by Egyptian nationalists, who wanted full independence from Britain, which was not achieved until 23 July 1952. The last British troops left Egypt after the Suez Crisis of 1956. For this, the 23 July date, celebrated as Revolution Day, serves as Egypt's national day.

Japan relinquished the claims to Taiwan and Penghu in the Treaty of San Francisco on 28 April 1952, but the sovereignty of the islands remained undetermined to this day.
