African Liberation refers to the movement aimed at ending colonial rule and achieving independence for African nations. Throughout the 20th century, many countries in Africa fought against European colonial powers, seeking self-determination and the right to govern themselves. This struggle often involved political activism, armed resistance, and international support. Key figures in the African Liberation movement include leaders like Nelson Mandela in South Africa and Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana. The movement led to significant milestones, such as the independence of various African nations in the 1950s and 1960s, reshaping the continent's political landscape and promoting unity among African states.
