European colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific were disappointed with the outcomes of the Paris Peace Conference because their aspirations for self-determination and independence were largely ignored. Instead of gaining autonomy, many regions remained under colonial rule or were subjected to new forms of control, such as mandates. This disregard for their desires for freedom fueled resentment and a sense of betrayal, as colonial powers prioritized their own interests and geopolitical stability over the voices of colonized peoples. Furthermore, the conference's decisions often perpetuated existing inequalities, undermining hopes for a just post-war order.
