Africa nationalism
1. The Growth of Nationalism
●
●
After the Scramble of
Africa, in the late 1800s,
many Africans dreamed
of independence.
To end colonial rule they
would have to build a
spirit of togetherness...
Why do you think a sense of togetherness is important to a newly
forming country?
2. The Birth of Nationalism..
●
This sense of
“togetherness” gave birth
to a feeling of pride in
one's homeland.
(nationalism)
–
Do you think nationalism
can ever be a bad thing?
–
Is there a difference
between ethnocentrism &
nationalism?
3. Pan-Africanism
●
●
●
In the 1920s, Africans
formed a movement
called Pan-Africanism.
This movement stressed
unity and cooperation
among ALL Africans.
Slogan:
–
●
“Africa for Africans”
Africa should be proud of
their culture!
5. Impact of World War 2..
●
●
A major boost of African
independence came from WWII.
Africa played a major role...
–
–
Provided airfields.
–
●
Supplied natural resources.
Africans FOUGHT & DIED
freeing Europe from conquest.
In addition:
–
“We have been told what we
fought for. That is “freedom.'We
want freedom, nothing but
freedom.”
European countries were
weakened after fighting the war.
–
European countries began
getting pressured from other
countries to dissolve their
colonies.
6. Striving for Independence..
●
●
●
This growing sense of nationalism & the
development of the Pan-Africanism movement
all contributed to the growing desire for
independence from Europe..
African colonies slowly began seeking
independence from Europeans (violently or
peacefully)..
One way to help spread these ideas, African's
used patriotic flyers and artwork..
