What did the european politicians break the empire apart into

Answer: Self governing bodies

Explanation:

European Empire collapsed after 1945. In the depression of 1930, colonies suffered badly so in a way, after 1930, European politician allowed the empire to turn into self governing bodies.

European colonies had to bear the burnt of the European politicians. After World War 2 Europe went into a great debt and because of the debt the politician of Europe levied heavy taxes on their colonies.

European colonies were already in a devastated condition after the depression of 1930. They knew that they couldn't pay the taxes.
