Struggle for Independence
inNIGERIAKENYA
SOUTH AFRICA
Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa were colonized by
Britain (United Kingdom).
After being colonies for decades, many people in Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa became influenced by the pan-Africanist movement.
Pan-Africanism movement is the idea that people of African descent should unite and work together for their freedoms.
As a result, many Africans became Nationalists, and began struggling with Europeans for their independence.
Nationalism is the strong pride in one’s nation (country) or ethnic group.
Nigeria became a British colony in 1901.
Nigeria gained independence peacefully from Britain in 1960.
Nnamdi Azikiwe became Nigeria’s first president.
Kenya became a British colony in the 1880s.
From 1952 to 1960, many Kenyan nationalists fought the British for independence, in what is known as the Mau Mau Rebellion.
