African Independence



After world War II Africa wanted to change. It wanted
to have it's independence. Only Egypt, Liberia and Ethiopia
were independent at that time. The Africans wanted to be
free from European control. The Europeans wanted Africa's
resources. They thought that by controlling Africa they were
doing the Africans a favor. Africa changed from 1955-1975.
Later, there was a leader named Kwame Nkrumah. He wanted
freedom for Africa. He became a president in Ghana. He made
new roads, new schools and also expanded the health facilities.
Then there was a man named Jomo Kenyatta. He became president
of the new nation Kenya. Kenya gained it's independence. As I told
you before in the year 1955 only Egypt, Liberia and Ethiopia were
independent. But after the ruling of famous presidents, in the year
1975 almost all of Africa gained it's independence.
