Post World War II Just like India, Britain, France, and other countries had bigger problems than their “colonies” during the war. Revolt and revolution resulted as Africans gained self-identity.

Movements in West Africa Relatively Peaceful transition from Britain. However, today there are major issues in areas such as Libya, Sierra Leone, and Tunisia.

Movements in South Africa Long, bitter fight. Rhodesia had a large white minority, who controlled the government. Resistance by blacks over economic sanctions finally led to independence in 1980.

South Africa Largest white population. Outnumbered by Africans 10 to 1 Advanced education, jobs reserved for whites. Afrikaner politicians began apartheid in the 1940s. Segregation Democracy for whites, police state for nonwhites.

End of Apartheid African National Congress began to fight segregation. Nelson Mandela arrested for his participation. It unravels as African nations in the north end the white rule. As the 1980s progressed, Nelson Mandela returns and South Africa becomes independent by 1990.

Kenya It wasn’t easy when white colonists lived in the area. Minority of whites resisted black participation in gov’t. “mau mau” terrorists. Jomo Kenyatta granted leadership of Kenya after rebellion is crushed. (1963)

Current Issues The boundaries set in Africa have led to tribes warring over territory. General instability in certain regions caused by starvation, frequent military coups, AIDS, or the diamond and ivory trade. Genocides have occurred several times. Rwanda, 1994 Darfur, 2003.
