Solution
- During the 15 year’s period of 1950-1965, people in the European colonies in Africa freed themselves from the foreign rule.
- The education system imposed by the Europeans was alien to them. Ironically, African leaders were trained in this alien educational system and their education had introduced them to American Independence Struggle, French Revolution and Nationalism.
- The African people became aware of ‘Nationalism’ and national pride. After the Second World War nationalism got a further boost.
- England and France gradually began to grant more rights to the Africans in their colonies.
- This strengthened the independence movements in African nations.
