African Independence

Africa was not always into the many countries that it is today. Before during the gold rush and European imperialism the European countries came to Africa and started making their colonies. This upset the African people because their borders were being defined by the will of those new to their countries. The African people also had no say in their government. This was one of the more critical parts that had affected the African people because they were supposed to abide by laws that they had no say in which were created by a government in which they had no voice in. Many new African nations were formed after WW2 mainly because of the fact that the European countries had no money left to control these countries.

Many African countries demanded thier independence. These countries had many fighting for their freedom. Some of who include Leopold Senghor, Kwame Nkrumah, Jomo Kenyatta, Nelson Mendela and mony more. All these leaders felt the need to free their country and to do it without the use of violence like Gandi. In the end many of their efforts had worked and their countries were free.
