The perspective of Africans changed in a significant way after fighting in WWII. For years, Africans had been unhappy with the treatment they received from white settlers. As they fought side by side with these "colonial overlords" in the Second World War, that discontent grew. During the war, they were exposed to many new influences and ideas, which led them to see that the white man could be taken down if they attempted to do so. This new perspective led to African empowerment and determination.

Africans were not prominent in World War 1, especially considering the war took place between the Allies and Axis powers and limited conflict was actually in Africa. Within Africa few Africans would have fought on the sides of the countries battling over their control, and any involvement in the war wouldn't necessarily have benefited them out side of the direct benefits of fights for a cause.
