Cold War proxy countries views on nationalism or decolonization?

Upvote:1

Obtaining, and defending, their independence was high on the agenda of most colonies after World War II. Although some took on aid from, and incurred obligations to more powerful countries to achieve this, they didn't need the extra incentive to become someone's "catspaw." It's like what Warren Buffett said about giving permission to your 16-year-old son or daughter to date. "It's a push your child doesn't need." In most cases, we aren't talking about the modern version of the 15th century Swiss Guards.

In fact, at least one "post colonial" episode, the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War. the two combatants had to be reined in by their sponsors, the Soviet Union and the United States, respectively. It was the more powerful sponsors that had to make sure that their "proteges" didn't get out of hand.
