Explanation
★The reasons for the emergence of neo-colonialism are the first two factors.
★The Second World War left the European colonial powers weakened.
★They could no longer hold their empires by direct rule.
★At the same time, consciousness against imperialism rose across the colonies.
★These pressures pushed control into indirect, economic forms of dominance.
★That indirect control of former colonies is what is called neo-colonialism.
★The foreign policies of India and Japan are not the causes here.
