Chris, No, it was not because the Soviet Union demanded it. The circumstances differed from one country and colony to another but there were two factors that, I think, played the biggest role. One was that after the war the European countries were too exhausted and too broke to bear the expenses of empire. It was no longer necessary to have the colonies in order to secure their economic strength and, indeed, the colonies were a drain on recources. Thus there was pressure to let them go. The second factor was that, in the wake of both world wars, European peoples attitudes about empire and self determination went through a significant change. Having experienced for themselves foreign conquest they no longer felt justified in denying soveriegnty to other peoples who plainly desired it for themselves.Michael Montagne
One thesis suggested for at least the colonies of southeast Asia, was that the colonial populations after WWII could see the weakness of the Europeans and would not be cowed by them any longer. This made them more restive, no longer willing to put up with colonialism, more willing to rebel against the colonial masters.

The Imperial Powers gave up their soverignty over their Empires because of two factors:
One was the Soviet Union wanted to have supremacy over the world.If the Western Powers didn't let go their colonies, the Union would have been threatened.
The second reason was that the present Imperial soverigns were weak and wanted to appeal to the world they were not conqurers. They didn't have the skills to govern their Empires and had to give them the chance of being a democracy. They didn't have the strength like other leaders like Napolion and Queen Victoria.
Overall, I think the main cause of the Empires's desolution were the leaders.
if by the imperial powers you mean sucha s the british giving up sovreignty of countries such as malaya and so forth, a theory put forward by many is that the Japanese in taking power in these countries had sowed the seed for change already, and shown citizens that they were not inferior to the white rulers. And so the uprising was instilled then. The myth of white supremecy was shattered by the conquests of the Japanese
The European powers were devastated by WW II and it took years to rebuild their economies and infrastructure (with the help of the US). They were in no condition to control a colonial empire. In addition, the European colonies had also been affected by the war and no longer believed the mythology about the superiority and advantages of European culture and civilization, which had brough the world to such disaster. WW II was very educational, and the colonies were not about to just go back to the way things used to be.
In the world of networking, reading has become a conversation of give and take.
Gold, land, slaves, raw resources to ship back to Spain to give that nation an advantage over the other Imperialist powers.
She stopped the Greeks from evading Egypt and that kind of made them give up there plan for world domination

The acquisition of overseas territory affected the way the United States viewed its role in the world by realizing it can spread its wings much wider Although the US did not expand overseas to the extent of the European world powers, it did give the country a closer view of the results of building huge empires that in many ways took advantage of lessor developed civilizations.

Crystal meth does not give the user special powers.
Division of powers
Do you mean accidentally? Or like surgery to give you super powers? I guess surgery could make you stronger, but stuff like radiation would more likely kill you than give you super powers. So I think you're out of luck.
There are no spells for powers. Only special effects people in movies can give people powers. The real power of people comes from what they do and who they are. Your powers are helping people, being good to others, being a friend to others, and finding ways to make the world a better place. Not to be so selfish that all you think about is what people can do for you or that you are the "center of the universe". People have power within themselves.
