The rest of the world also did relatively great as well, especially towards the end of that time frame after colonialism and then the Cold War. You see lots of footage from Vietnam and Afghanistan, but only because “everything fine in Namibia” isn’t a headline.
How are we defining rest of the world here because China, India and Africa make up nearly 50% of the human population and things were really not great, especially for the first 40 to 50 years after WW2.

Namibia would be an Africa example, although the decolonisation period was probably as rocky as anywhere. India did alright after the same.
China had Mao problems, of course, but then Deng on and the rapid ascent to global power is also in the period considered.
