The long-term result of the nationalist movements in Asia between World War I and World War II was the dissolution of western colonial control and the emergence of many new countries in the region. These nationalist movements challenged the authority of their colonizers and fought for their independence, seeking self-determination and sovereignty. This resulted in the creation of several new countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Palestine, Indonesia, and Israel. It also resulted in the weakening of the colonial powers in the region, such as the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands, who were no longer able to dominate the region. The independence of these new countries also marginalized minorities in some places and ignited regional tensions between different nations.
