What effect did world war II have on empires that had been created by european nations

The correct answer to this question: What effect did World War II have on empires that had been created by European nations, is, that at the time, all those empires began to crumble and end.

Explanation:

The terrible effects of World War II were not just seen in human lives lost, or the horrendous use of a nuclear weapon for the first time in history. Its consequences also had huge repercussions on the means by which European powers, such as Britain, France, and others, controlled their overseas colonies, especially in Africa and Asia. Due to the terrible effect that the war had on military power, and economic power, most of these European countries were forced to start the process of dissolving their colonies because they simply did not have the means to keep them. Instead of multiple colonies, what did happen was that two new superpowers rose after the war: the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Second World War (WWII) was one of the major transformative events of the 20th century, with 39 million deaths in Europe alone. Large amounts of physical capital were destroyed as well through six years of constant ground battles and bombing. Many individuals were forced to abandon or give up their property without compensation and to move on to new lands. Periods of hunger become more common even in relatively prosperous Western Europe. Families were separated for long periods of time especially from their fathers. Many including young children would personally witness the horrors of War as battles and bombing took place in the very areas where they lived. Horrendous crimes against humanity were committed. Due to WWII, political and economic systems in many countries would be permanently altered.
