Democracy Spreads to Africa 23 Democracy Spreads to Africa 23. Name three significant steps towards democracy taken by South Africa in the 1990s? Countries after Imperialism Negatives Positives Politics 2. Nigeria Federal system Civil War A New Hope 3. South Africa Apartheid Nelson Mandela The empire strikes back

Negatives of imperialism Boundaries are made for convenience, not ethnic or cultural differences. Did not develop countries, just resources they wanted Little education, limiting skilled, literate workers to create a new nation. People do not know how to work within democracy

Positives Um…. Some wealth brought to country through export of goods Trade with imperialized country Could develop government with model from mother country.

Politics Most try to become democratic or fall into dictatorship, martial law, or military control Issues with minorities is a constant issue, with their either being mistreated or abusing their power.

Nigeria Begins Democracy Peacefully won independence in 1960 Most populated and richest country in Africa Adopted federal system, in which the power is shared between state and central authority Started with three states, each one ethnically different

Civil war Due to ethnic differences one state tried to break away starting a civil war. Martial law imposed meaning temporary military rule. In 1970 the war ended, Nigeria was unified, but millions died.

A New Hope After the civil war the country was broken down into 19 units with a stronger central government. Built up a more modern economy based off oil export. Still had issues with military power until 1999

South Africa Apartheid 1931 became independent member of British commonwealth. 48’ National Party came to power lead by minority white group Promoted apartheid which is complete segregation of races

Nelson Mandela After many unjust laws black South Africans formed the African National Congress (ANC) Participated in strikes, boycotts, demonstrations One leader was Mandela Promoted economic campaign against apartheid, having other countries help them Many leaders will be put in jail by the government and the ANC banned

Empire Strikes Back 89’ F. W. de Klerk gets elected as president. Policy is to transform Africa, releases Mandela from prison, and legalizes ANC Apartheid and segregation laws are repealed Mandela elected president in 94 De Klerk became VP 96’ brought about a new constitution, including bill of rights, right to housing, education, and health care.
