For all practical purpose, the imperial European powers, dictatorship or democracies, lost their colonial possession due to only one real and culturally true, democracy - the US. And thankfully, WW2 made it the superpower while reducing all the colonial powers to pauper - economically, militarily and culturally. American President Franklin Roosevelt and his non compromising pressure on the supremacist, colonialist British PM Winston Churchill, apparently elected by a democracy - led to Indias Freedom. Not some pacifist movement in India. Maybe it is time we recognize his contribution and make a grand statue of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in our capital city to honor his memory. Unfortunately he died early and not witnessing the actual freedom of the colonies. This also tells us, democracy or dictatorship - it makes no difference for a state to its greed, colonization and loot of other nations.

@AKu-xs5vg please read Winston Churchill 5 volume epic on ww2. To understand the dynamics of European imperialists and the only pressure to release the colonies, particularly India. Yes Europe was ruined, imperialist ate each other making them weak. But that also means continued loot of the colonies. But that did not happen. Another force that helped the colonies to freedom is the emergence of Soviets. USSR. On their own, non of the colonies are capable of achieving freedom from their colonial masters. Militarily or politically or administratively.
