Sri Lanka

उत्तर
In the first half of the twentieth-century decolonization did not take very long, in many Asian and African countries. The process of decolonization was accelerated in a short time because of the conflicts among European coloniser countries, the occurrence of the First and Second World Wars, and the anti-colonial movements in the colonies.
Sri Lanka:
- The British ruled Sri Lanka (Ceylon) from 1798 to 1948. They took over Sri Lanka by defeating the Dutch and the Portuguese.
- There were uprisings in Sri Lanka against British rule. The British plantation owners had taken many labourers from Tamil Nadu to work in coffee plantations.
- In Sri Lanka, the British dominated the production and markets of coffee, tea, rubber, and coconut.
- They developed Colombo as an international port city. They also established colleges and universities in Sri Lanka and encouraged Buddhist Studies. Sri Lanka became independent in 1948.
As a result, the Asian continent of Sri Lanka was decolonized.
