African Indepence


Africa would be having a hard time to gain their independence. The European inperalist would not want to give the African countries independence. They wanted them for their natural resources. It was not until World War 2 in which some African people would be sent to Europe to help out in the War. There in Europe the Africans realized that the Europeans were not as strong as they appeared to be.
After World War 2 the Europeans realized that the cost of keeping their colonies in Africa was to much. The Europeans were ready to give up the power to the African people. However they did not know how they would be able to give the power to the African people.
Some leaders of the African movement for freedom were Kwame Nkrumah, Jomo Kenyatta, Zaire. Kwame Nkrumah was the leader of the Ghana. Jomo Kenyatta was leader of Kenya. Lastly Zaire was leader of the Congo.
