It was the time when one period of history completed to give rise to next period of history. Major portion of world was colonized by a faction of countries of Europe. At that time a lot of countries achieved independence from this vicious subjugation. European colonial empire dissolved in the mid of twentieth century. A lot many countries emerged out of this dissolution as independent states. It was a beginning of post-colonial era. But this is quite a simple understanding of this concept. It is not as simple as it seems to be. Colonialism was a widespread phenomenon. It was not limited to one or two parts of the world. It can be affirmed that it was everywhere in the world. What is more important
