  • 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 AfricansAfrica should be proud of their culture! 4. Pan-African FlagRed= bloodshed Black= color of skin Green=rich land & natural resources 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..
