unfair treatment. Developed more pride in national identities and

culture. Led to demands for self-rule.

Some African colonies gained independence through violence and warfare. Belgium gave up any claim to its Congo colony

after violent outbreaks in 1959 Portugal also refused to free its colonies until after

bloody civil wars.

Independence brought new challenges to the African colonies. Independence leaders were unable to improve

conditions. Military leaders would take control creating military

dictatorships through the late 1900s. Civil war broke out between ethnic groups in some

countries. Countries fell into debt. Diseases like Malaria and AIDS have spread killing

many Africans.

Pan-Africanism was a movement that called for cultural unity and equality for everyone of African heritage. They sought to end European control over Africa. Wanted Africa to become a homeland for all people of

African descent.

life. Popularity worldwide for African art and music. African directors made movies seen around the

world.
