CLEP Western Civ II

Answer: D - The neocolonialism of the 20th century had a much greater focus on economics than previous incarnations. Economics had certainly motivated the earlier colonial endeavors; however, transplanting culture and establishing bases for European rule dropped from the model in the 20^th century. After World War II, a wave of nationalist movements created independent nations throughout Africa and Asia. However, this newly found freedom changed little, since most of these nations were still dependent on the former colonizers for economic support and trade.
