African Independence

Africa was under British rule for a long time and then change happened in Africa. During 1955 Africa was mostly under British rule and then later on in 1975 Africa was mostly independent. The reason is that the African's were influenced by the African Americans and learned from them by listening to Jazz and reading literature by them. They also got influenced when they went to war during World War II when they fought with the Europeans and then thought that they don't want to be under another country as a colony. Some of the leaders include Jomo Kenyatta, Mau Mau, Mobutu, and Nelson Mandela. Jomo Kenyatta was imprisoned and was later released and led the rebellion for independence for Kenya. The Mau Mau were also fighting for independence along with Kenyatta although they had no connection. Mobutu was the leader for a place called Zaire which later became the Congo after independence.
