A. Following World War II, independence movements often resulted in the outbreak of war.
Explanation: After World War II, many colonies in Asia and Africa sought independence from their European colonizers. This was particularly evident in countries like Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia. In Korea, the division between North and South led to the Korean War. Vietnam saw prolonged conflict with the First Indochina War against the French, followed by the Vietnam War with heavy US involvement. Cambodia also experienced turmoil and conflict, especially under the brutal regime of the Khmer Rouge after it gained full independence. In these cases, the drive for independence frequently resulted in violent conflict rather than peaceful transitions.
