Coming home, both from war and contract labor jobs, why will colonial peoples attitudes toward the colonizers change? How can they use their experience in WWI to inform their arguments against colonization?

The attitude of the colonial peoples changed in relation to the Europeans, because they believed that they were being exploited by the European countries, so that they had sufficient resources to stay in the war. In other words, the colonies affirmed that they were financing a war that did not involve them and that it was creating a lot of problems for them. This was used to justify arguments against colonization, as it showed that many of the colonial problems would be resolved if the colonies were independent.

Explanation:

During the war, European colonists demanded an increase in the production of raw materials from their colonies. This raw material would be used in European factories, so that economic activity and domestic supply in European countries was not interrupted. However, the increase in the production of raw materials, promotes an increase in the economic expenditure of the colonies and this meant that the price for raw materials was higher, but that is not what happened. As the spending on wars was very high, European countries reduced the price of raw materials for their colonies, which caused many economic problems in the colonies.

These economic problems were created due to a war that did not include the colonies and this generated a feeling of injustice in the European colonies that started to see European countries differently, as exploiters and profiteers. This caused a feeling of nationalism to become very strong in the colonies, which stated that they should seek independence, once, that the European nations only cared about their own interests.

the nationalists wanted a strong central government so the new country wouldn't fall apart.
