Solution
- After the Second World War, the independence movements in Africa intensified due to several reasons. African soldiers who fought in the war were exposed to ideas of democracy and self-rule, which made them question colonial rule.
- Many African leaders, educated under the European system, were inspired by the American War of Independence and nationalist movements. The economic decline of European powers like Britain and France made it difficult for them to control their colonies, leading to gradual political reforms.
- The United Nations and newly independent countries like India supported decolonisation, increasing pressure on colonial rulers. As a result, between 1950 and 1965, many African nations gained independence, marking the beginning of self-rule in Africa.
