So Britain pulled back from its colonies in rather good order. France fought two fierce wars and lost. Portugal held on to its colonies until domestic revolution and a final withdrawal. Spain withdrew partially from North Africa.
What if instead of the Europeans retreating in good order with the French and Portuguese still fighting on what if all of them locked down de-colonization movements and sought to hold to their colonies as long as possible, however possible, whatever the casualties?
Imagine guerilla wars from Indonesia to the Atlantic coast of the Sahara. Millions upon millions dead in India, the French and Portuguese loosing everything to stem the tide of revolution in Africa.
In more succinct terms make the decolonization of the Middle East, Africa, and east and Southeast Asia as bloody, traumatizing, and drawn out as possible.
Could the Europeans hold on to their colonies till the present day if they weren't squeamish about the methods used to hold them? Would large parts of the world turn communist as a result of this?
Thoughts?
