In some parts of Africa, the people ruled by European colonial powers began to develop a strong
sense of nationalism. This nationalism helped some countries in Africa become independent.
South Africa
Much of the colonial conflict in South Africa occurred between the British and the settlers of Dutch,
German, and French origin who preceded the British. Eventually, the British Empire was able to
consolidate power over this group and established the Union of South Africa in 1910. At this time, all
power remained in the hands of white South Africans under British rule. In 1912, the African National
Congress was established. This group of would fight for the rights of black and “colored” people in
South Africa from 1912 through the end of Apartheid and the election of Nelson Mandela in 1994. It
is important to understand that the independence of South Africa from the British Empire was
established by the white minority in 1961. Their decision to declare themselves a republic was driven
by their desire to maintain the system of Apartheid. The nationalist movement in South Africa did not
achieve independence from a colonial power; rather, it defeated the Apartheid system and
established equal rights for black and “colored” South Africans.
Kenya
Although there was a European presence in this part of Africa as early as 1498, Kenya did not
become an official British colony until 1920. Black people in the colony were denied a role in politics
until 1944, when a few black people were allowed to run and hold office. In the 1950s, there was a
violent, seven year uprising resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of black Kenyans. Black
participation in government increased steadily during this period, and Kenya became an independent
nation in 1963.
Nigeria
British influence in Nigeria began in 1885 and the territory officially became a British colony in 1914.
A largely peaceful nationalist movement in Nigeria led the British to move Nigeria gradually toward
independence between 1945 and 1960. Final independence was achieved in 1960. Unfortunately,
economic development by the British during the colonial period was unequally distributed in the
territory that became the country of Nigeria. This allowed some of the ethnic groups in the country
to have greater wealth and power than other ethnic groups. The inequities and ethnic tensions
caused multiple coups throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Sample Questions

written in more than 400 languages
caused ethnic and religious conflict that
lead to civil war in 1966
d. Explain the impact of the PanAfrican movement.
Pan-Africanism – people of African descent, no matter where they lived in the world, should think of Africa
as a homeland. They wanted to end European colonial rule in Africa and work together to make Africa
better. Pan-African movement sparked many nationalist movements in Africa (which leads to
independence)
African Nationalism From 1900 to 1945, most Pan-Africanists, with the notable exception of Marcus
Garvey, were black intellectuals from the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe or affluent black
Africans studying abroad in Europe and the Americas. After WWII, these young black leaders began to
organize influential groups of black Africans. Some of the groups attending Pan-African conferences in
Europe developed nationalist movements in their colonies and fought for independence.
Independence Some of the most influential Pan-Africanists rose to become president of newly
independent African countries. This is true for Kenyatta in Kenya and Nkrumah in Ghana. The PanAfrican movement led to the development of a loose organization of African states known as the African
Union.
The purpose of the Pan African
Movements in Africa is to
A. Develop a unified region.
B. Create one African language.
C. Create one African Government.
D. Develop a unified political identity.

National Congress

members of the United Nations
D. get African to think of themselves

c. Explain the creation and end of apartheid in South Africa
and the roles of Nelson Mandela and F.W.de Klerk.
Apartheid – legal segregation of races in South Africa adopted in 1948; complicated
system of racial identification and classifying citizens as either black, colored, Asian,
or white. The Apartheid system greatly restricted the freedoms of non-white South
Africans in many ways including
• own little land
• segregated facilities (schools, libraries, movie theaters, restaurants)
• can’t marry someone of a different race
• no voting or political freedoms
The world reaction to this policy was strong; countries around the world criticized
South Africa, boycotted South African made products, and the country was not
allowed to participate in the Olympics.
Nelson Mandela worked with the African National Congress to try to end Apartheid
and was jailed for 27 years for his work against the government. In 1990, de Klerk
began to repeal Apartheid laws as a response to the negative economic and political
international pressure. De Klerk released Mandela from prison and Mandela and de
Klerk had to work together to peacefully end Apartheid. Mandela and de Klerk were
the leaders of two of the major political parties and wrote a new constitution
guaranteeing all South Africans equal rights.
