Here are the events arranged in chronological order from the earliest to the latest date:
- The Dutch acknowledge Indonesian independence (1949)
- France grants independence to Cambodia and Laos (1953)
- The United States grants independence to the Philippines (1946)
- Portugal grants East Timor independence (1975)
(Note: For the second event, the order was adjusted; the independence of the Philippines occurred before the French granted independence to Cambodia and Laos.)
