The First World War era sparked anti-colonial stirrings across Asia and Africa

Evidence

The impact of colonialism and neocolonialism on the relationship between Islam and the West should not be underestimated. Many Muslims in the Middle East and in other Muslim-majority regions blame their political and economic struggles today on past as well as present interference from the West. The anti-Western sentiment that one encounters in these countries cannot be understood apart from the legacy of colonialism, just as any adequate analysis of contemporary Western discourse about Muslims and Islam must take into account the West’s past and present colonial enterprises and imperial designs in the Muslim world. — Green, Todd H, The Fear of Islam_ An Introduction to…, 182 (#expands, via linked claim)
