1. The correct answer is: They wanted the natural resources in Africa.
To understand why European nations colonized Africa, we need to consider the historical context. In the late 19th century, Europe was going through the Industrial Revolution and had a growing need for raw materials and markets to sustain their economic growth. Africa was rich in natural resources such as minerals, timber, rubber, and precious metals, which European powers wanted to exploit for their industries. The colonization of Africa provided a means for European nations to secure these resources and establish control over key trade routes.
2. The correct answer is: The Pan-African movement fostered a sense of solidarity and unity among African nations, leading to increased diplomatic pressure on colonial powers and support for the independence movements in Kenya and Nigeria.
The Pan-African movement, which emerged in the early 20th century, aimed to promote unity, solidarity, and the empowerment of African people across the globe. It advocated for the rights and liberation of Africans from colonial rule. The movement encouraged African nations to come together, share ideas, and support each other's struggles against colonial powers.
In the specific cases of Kenya and Nigeria, the Pan-African movement played a crucial role in achieving independence. It helped foster a sense of solidarity among African nations, leading to increased diplomatic pressure on the colonial powers. The movement also provided a platform for African leaders to showcase their struggle and gain support from other nations. This international support put pressure on the colonial powers to grant independence.
While armed resistance did occur in Kenya and Nigeria, it was not the sole factor in achieving independence. Peaceful protests, negotiations, and diplomatic efforts were also important strategies employed by nationalist leaders to challenge colonial rule. However, it was the combination of various approaches, including both the Pan-African movement's diplomatic pressure and local nationalist efforts, that ultimately contributed to the attainment of independence in Kenya and Nigeria.
