Question
Decolonisation of the African continent.
Deprivation process
Answer in Brief
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.
