African Independence

Africa changed so much in the 20 year period from 1955 t0 1975. Africa changed because Africa was practically overthrown by the European nations. Almost all its countries were ruled by the European people.It wasn't fair that the European nation takes over Africa and making it theirs, they just took everything from Africa and made it theirs. By 1975 the Africans were tired of it and fought to gain their independence, yet there were few who didn't mind because the Europeans gave them new things and made Africa better. One of the most memorable leaders of African independence was Jomo KenyattaHe went to Europe to try to persuade them to give his people their well deserved freedom then he went to jail and after he became president of Kenya.
