Most nations in Southeast Asia gained independence from Western powers after World War II. During this time, many European colonial powers were weakened and occupied with rebuilding after the war, allowing for independence movements to gain momentum in the region. Additionally, the Japanese occupation during World War II also played a significant role in weakening Western colonial powers and paving the way for independence movements in Southeast Asia. It is important to note that each country in Southeast Asia gained independence at different times, but the majority achieved independence in the post-World War II period. The Vietnam War, on the other hand, mainly affected the countries of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia and did not have a direct impact on the independence movements of other Southeast Asian nations.
