Detailed explanation-1: -The Second World War was a catalyst for African political freedom and independence. The war helped build strong African nationalism, which resulted in a common goal for all Africans to fight for their freedom.
Detailed explanation-2: -World War II led to decolonization of Africa by affecting both Europe and Africa militarily, psychologically, politically, and economically. The Second World War was instrumental in arming Africans with the military knowledge and leadership skills they would utilize when fighting for their own independence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Following World War II, rapid decolonisation swept across the continent of Africa as many territories gained their independence from European colonisation.
