Post-Colonial Africa (Late 20th - Early 21st Century)

Post-colonial Africa, from the late 20th to the early 21st century, refers to the period following the end of colonial rule across the continent. Newly independent nations faced challenges like political instability, economic struggles, and the legacies of colonialism. Many governments grappled with establishing stable institutions and identities. Conflicts arose due to ethnic tensions and resource control. Despite these challenges, this era also saw growth in regional cooperation, cultural revival, and economic development. Today, African nations continue to evolve, balancing traditional practices with modern influences while striving for political and economic progress on a global stage.
