The victorious nations claimed their right to newly acquired lands and started to device plans on how to rule better on these countries. So the plans implied the decolonization of large continents.

The rulers started to draw new borders. In order to stop less favorable people coming into new countries, new governments enforced the rule of controlled immigration. And it is still a benchmark convention followed by countries.
