Most African countries gained their independence through a combination of political negotiation, armed struggle, and decolonization movements following World War II. The weakening of European powers during the war and the rise of nationalist sentiments among African populations fueled demands for self-governance. Many countries achieved independence through peaceful negotiations, while others experienced prolonged conflicts and revolutions against colonial rule. By the 1960s, a wave of decolonization swept across the continent, leading to the establishment of numerous independent nations.

Some African nations transitioned smoothly to independence due to factors like pre-existing political structures, negotiations with colonial powers, and strong leadership that promoted unity and stability. In contrast, countries that experienced conflict often faced artificial borders, ethnic tensions, and a lack of viable political institutions, which led to power struggles and violence during the decolonization process. Additionally, external influences and the legacy of colonial exploitation exacerbated tensions in some regions, resulting in prolonged conflicts. Ultimately, the varied experiences of independence were shaped by historical, social, and political contexts unique to each nation.

Southern Africa, including countries like Namibia and Zimbabwe, appeared to have received independence later than the rest of the African continent. Many of these countries gained independence in the 1960s and 1970s, later than countries in North and West Africa.
The fight for independence in African countries was directly inspired by the independence movement in India. However, Africa did not always adopt the non-violent methods used by India.
