African Independence


Africa has changed plenty over the past 20 years. During 1955 Africa had no independence and were being controlled by European nation. The Europeans would come into Africa with the Africans having no say what so ever. It wasn't fair that the European nation takes over Africa and making it theirs, but they didn't care and just took everything from Africa and made it theirs. By 1975 the Africans were tired of it and fought to gain their independence, yet there were few who didn't mind because the Europeans gave them new things and made Africa better. There was still the ones who hated it because it was their country and had no say into whether they allowed the Europeans to come into their land and take their natural resources. They still fought for their independence and were able to get it. Some of the leaders who fought for Africa's independence would have to be Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Nelson Mandela of South Africa.
