Anti-colonialism had gained lots of momentum due to the ramification of World War II. Increased consciousness of the weaknesses of colonial powers and increased awareness of colonial injustice and inequality compelled Africans to actively fight for independence. What Africans learned throughout the World War was communication and ability to work together. One of the reasons why Africans were colonized by European countries was the lack of unity among African countries and people. This unification strengthened African nationalism. African nationalists’ voices were loud enough to be heard by the world, and this torn down European colonialism in Africa. The Second World War also imposed psychological changes which aided in the decolonization of Africa. This war changed and shaped the way Africans view Europeans. The Africans recognized that white man, just like everyone else, fears and dies. This observation shattered the idea of white supremacy which had existed in the minds of Africans. Africans thought that Europeans were insurmountable and unable to be defeated. For the first time in centuries, Africans began to develop genuine hope that freedom was not a fantasy and see that independence from European countries was feasible.
