African Liberation

African liberation refers to the historical movement where countries in Africa fought to end colonial rule and gain independence from European powers. This process involved political activism, armed struggle, and negotiations to establish self-governance, sovereignty, and national identity. It was driven by a desire for freedom, equality, and control over resources and destiny, often inspired by broader ideas of self-determination and anti-colonialism. The liberation movements helped reshape Africa's political landscape, leading to the formation of independent nations and fostering a sense of pride and unity among their people.
