African Liberation Movement

The African Liberation Movement refers to various efforts across the continent where nations and groups fought to end colonial rule and achieve independence from European powers. This movement emerged mainly after World War II, driven by the desire for self-determination, political freedom, and economic control. Leaders and activists organized protests, political campaigns, and sometimes armed resistance to challenge colonial authorities. The movement resulted in many African countries gaining independence during the 1950s and 1960s, shaping the modern political landscape of Africa. It was a significant chapter in the broader global push for decolonization and sovereignty.
