Assignment: The Struggle for Independence

As World War II ended, the people of African and Asian nations found themselves struggling to find social justice and economic growth as they began their quest for independence.

  • Draw from this week’s reading and consider the nationalist struggles for independence following World War II.
  • Consider the changes that the people of Asia and Africa faced. How did they fare after European and Western control was removed? What internal struggles ensued?
  • Reflect upon European and Western influences on Asian and African nations.
  • Think about what it would be like to live in a nation that was under control of another nation. What would life be like if you did not know the liberty of freedom? What social, economic, and political struggles would you and your nation encounter during this time?
