Q: What strategies did the Third World countries pursue in the Cold War period to free themselves from the legacies of colonialism such as economic dependency?

Explanation:

This article reviews how colonial rule and African actions during the colonial period affected the resources and institutional settings for subsequent economic development south of the Sahara. The issue is seen from the perspective of the dynamics of development in what was in 1900 an overwhelmingly land-abundant region characterised by shortages of labour and capital, by perhaps surprisingly extensive indigenous market activities and by varying but often low levels of political centralisation. The differential impact of French and British rule is explored, but it is argued that a bigger determinant of the differential evolution of poverty, welfare and structural change was the contrast between “settler” and “peasant” economies.

on november 6 and 7, 1917 (or october 24 and 25 on the julian calendar, which is why the event is often referred to as the october revolution), leftist revolutionaries led by bolshevik party leader vladimir lenin launched a nearly bloodless coup d'état against the duma's provisional government.
