Imperialism went merrily along after World War I. There's no "in turn." I think the big revolution in imperial style occurred after World War II, where national imperialism began to be abandoned in favor of supranational control of the whole earth by a single ruling class. Once the U.S. had defeated or outlived the old empires, it wasn't needed any more.
It's true some of the Muslims are still skulking, but all the rest are either inside or hanging out at the door, are they not?
