Nationalism
 
&
 
Independence
 
in
 
Africa
 
After
 
years
 
of
 
racism
 
and
 
harsh
 
conditions
 
under
 
European
 
colonial
 
rule,
 
many
 
Africans
 
began
 
to
 
develop
 
a
 
strong
 
sense
 
of
 
nationalism. Nationalism
 
is
 
when
 
people
 
of
 
a
 
country
 
have
 
a
 
strong
 
sense
 
of
 
national
 
pride
 
or
 
patriotism. This
 
sense
 
of
 
national
 
pride
 
can
 
lead
 
to
 
the
 
advancement
 
or
 
bettering
 
of
 
a
 
nation. Nationalism
 
can
 
also
 
lead
 
to
 
members
 
of
 
a
 
country
 
gaining
 
their
 
independence
 
and
 
becoming
 
free
 
of
 
colonial
 
rule
 
or
 
other
 
unjust
 
rulers. Nationalism
 
helped
 
many
 
countries
 
in
 
Africa
 
become
 
independent
 
of
 
their
 
colonial
 
rulers. The
 
stories
 
below
 
will
 
connect
 
the
 
relationship
 
of
 
nationalism
 
to
 
independence
 
in
 
three
 
African
 
countries
 
–
 
Kenya,
 
Nigeria,
 
and
 
South
 
Africa. One
 
of
 
the
 
biggest
 
factors
 
in
 
the
 
developing
 
of
 
African
 
nationalism
 
was
 
a
 
movement
 
known
 
as
 
Pan-Africanism. The
 
Pan-African
 
movement
 
began
 
in
 
the
 
late
 
1800s. It
 
pointed
 
out
 
the
 
common
 
bond
 
shared
 
by
 
people
 
of
 
African
 
descent
 
and
 
called
 
for
 
unity
 
among
 
African
 
people. Pan-Africanism
 
can
 
include
 
just
 
black
 
Africans,
 
all
 
black
 
people
 
throughout
 
the
 
world,
 
or
 
even
 
all
 
people
 
living
 
on
 
the
 
African
 
continent.
