After the World War II many colonies were granted independence because of the European economic weakness. During the war European colonial countries were sucked dry economically to a point were they were all on the verge of collapsing as countries.

This caused the European colonial countries to grant independence to many of their colonies because they were not able to keep them under control anymore, be it financially or with the military.
