Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa were colonized by Britain (United Kingdom).
After being colonies for decades, many people in Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa became influenced by the pan-Africanist movement.
Pan-Africanism movement is the idea that people of African descent should unite and work together for their freedoms.
As a result, many Africans became Nationalists, and began struggling with Europeans for their independence.
Nationalism is the strong pride in one’s nation (country) or ethnic group.
From 1952 to 1960, many Kenyan nationalists fought the British for independence, in what is known as the Mau Mau Rebellion.
Although the British defeated the natioalists and the Mau Maus, Britain gave Kenya its independence in 1963.
