ww2 america ended up richer than ever,and more powerful than ever,wanting britain to hurry up and hand back the empire, the empire was ending anyway, but we,d hand it back ,when the individual countries were ready, we put down the chinese backed communist uprising in malaya,a blood thirsty mau mau rebellion in kenya,and many more insurgencies ,if we,d let anybody take over to soon, you get a power vacuum and evil corrupt juntas taking over and wide spread civil war
