Between 1945 and 1950, several countries gained independence, primarily from colonial rule. Notable examples include India and Pakistan in 1947, Indonesia in 1949, and the Philippines in 1946. Other countries that achieved independence during this period include Burma (Myanmar) in 1948 and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in 1948. This wave of independence was part of a larger decolonization movement following World War II.
