29. Africa During World War 1, Africa was close to being completely under European colonial power’s rule. 100.000s Africans served in european Armies and 10.000s of them died, but also increased nationalist feeling. Many Africans thought they gained independence from European control, because of their sacrifices in war. Trade between Europe and Africa, in which many african colonies depended on, ended. Africans were angry, because no Africans were involved in the Treaty of Versailles, and European powers gave Germany’s African colonies to other countries. Silas Lauta

30. Africa After World War 1, Africans sought greater independence, because of their frustrations at European powers actions. In 1919, a series of meetings known as Pan African Congress organized by people of African heritage around the world began, and led to demands for independence. North African Arabs tried to win independence in British-ruled Egypt, but after the war a group of Egyptians demanded independence. Some members were arrested, and protests swept the country. The British realized they couldn’t keep control, and in February 1922 they declared Egypt as independent. Silas Lauta

It would take a lot of time and another world war for Africa to reach nationalism and lead to a major change on the continent Silas Lauta
