CHAPTER 23

Reflection:

In this chapter it goes over how Africa and Asia were trying their best to earn for freedom/independence. One of the methods that were used to help these countries to be independent was having the United Nations conduct anti colonial agitation. This helped the political independence. The first country to gain independence was India. India showed a great example and role model to other countries. This brought hope to the people. From this we see how people were trying hard to get back up from the whole damage that was brought upon from the wars. In India the people worked hard by forming an association of English-educated Indians in 1885 named Indian National Congress (INC). These were people who were either lawyers, teachers, or businessmen in higher class Hindu families. This association was like a new political protest. From this association their main goal was not overthrow British rule but rather gain inclusion within political, military, and business life of the British Indians. An important figure during the time was Ghandi. We see from here that people tried to things in ways that would be beneficial to them (win-win situation). In South Africa the people took things differently than India. The people their were granted independence that was controlled by white settler minority however, the blacks did not have any right. Since this was not like India the blacks had a hard time gaining any independence because their struggle was against this internal opponents. In  Africa, like India, an association was formed called African National Congress (ANC) in 1912. IN Turkey women were gaining more authority compared to the past. We see that countries were changing, developing, and advancing within technology, economically, and politically.
