By 1940 it consisted mostly of the <a href="/wiki/Dutch_East_Indies" title="Dutch East Indies">Dutch East Indies</a>, corresponding to what is now Indonesia. Its massive oil reserves provided about 14 percent of the Dutch national product and supported a large population of ethnic Dutch government officials and businessmen in <a href="/wiki/Batavia,_Dutch_East_Indies" title="Batavia, Dutch East Indies">Batavia</a> (now Jakarta) and other major cities. The Netherlands was overrun and almost starved to death <a href="/wiki/Reichskommissariat_Niederlande" title="Reichskommissariat Niederlande">by the Nazis</a> during the war, and Japan sank the Dutch fleet in seizing the East Indies. In 1945 the Netherlands could not regain these islands on its own; <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Surabaya" title="Battle of Surabaya">it did so by depending on British military help</a> and <a href="/wiki/Marshall_Plan" title="Marshall Plan">American financial grants</a>. By the time Dutch soldiers returned, an independent government under <a href="/wiki/Sukarno" title="Sukarno">Sukarno</a> was in power, originally set up by the <a href="/wiki/Empire_of_Japan" title="Empire of Japan">Empire of Japan</a>. The Dutch both abroad and at home generally agreed that Dutch power depended on an expensive war to regain the islands. Compromises were negotiated, but were trusted by neither side. When the <a href="/wiki/Madiun_Affair" title="Madiun Affair">Indonesian Republic successfully suppressed</a> a large-scale communist revolt, the United States realized that it needed the nationalist government as an ally in the Cold War. Dutch possession was an obstacle to American Cold War goals, so Washington forced the Dutch to grant full independence. A few years later, Sukarno nationalized all <a href="/wiki/Dutch_East_Indies" title="Dutch East Indies">Dutch East Indies</a> properties and expelled all <a href="/wiki/Indo_people" title="Indo people">ethnic Dutch</a>—over 300,000—as well as several hundred thousand ethnic Indonesians who supported the Dutch cause. In the aftermath, the Netherlands prospered greatly in the 1950s and 1960s but nevertheless public opinion was bitterly hostile to the United States for betrayal. The Dutch government eventually gave up on claims to Indonesian sovereignty in 1949, after American pressure.<sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-53" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-53"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Netherlands also had one other major colony, Dutch Guiana in <a href="/wiki/South_America" title="South America">South America</a>, which became independent as <a href="/wiki/Suriname" title="Suriname">Suriname</a> in 1975. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="United_Nations_trust_territories">United Nations trust territories</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Decolonization&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: United Nations trust territories"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_trust_territories" title="United Nations trust territories">United Nations trust territories</a></div> <p>When the United Nations was formed in 1945, it established trust territories.

OPEC nations then agreed, on 7 January 1975, to raise crude oil prices by 10%. At that time, OPEC nations – including many who had recently nationalized their oil industries – joined the call for a New International Economic Order to be initiated by coalitions of primary producers. Concluding the First OPEC Summit in Algiers they called for stable and just commodity prices, an international food and agriculture program, technology transfer from North to South, and the democratization of the economic system. But industrialized countries quickly began to look for substitutes to OPEC petroleum, with the oil companies investing the majority of their research capital in the US and European countries or others, politically sure countries.

Part of the reason for this was that major costs were eliminated while major benefits were obtained by alternate means. Decolonization allowed the colonizer to disclaim responsibility for the colonized. The colonizer no longer had the burden of obligation, financial or otherwise, to their colony. However, the colonizer continued to be able to obtain cheap goods and labor as well as economic benefits (see <a href="/wiki/Suez_Canal_Crisis" class="mw-redirect" title="Suez Canal Crisis">Suez Canal Crisis</a>) from the former colonies.

In a 2023 paper on the political theory of settler colonialism, Canadian academics Yann Allard-Tremblay and Elaine Coburn posit that: "In Africa, the Middle East, South America, and much of the rest of the world, decolonization often meant the expulsion or departure of most colonial settlers. In contrast, in settler colonial states like <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand" title="New Zealand">New Zealand</a>, <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>, settlers have not left, even as independence from the metropole was gained...
