Scenarios about 'African independence'
The process of African nations gaining sovereignty from European colonial powers, primarily occurring between the late 1950s and 1970s. This period of decolonization transformed the political landscape of the continent, creating dozens of new nation-states with borders often reflecting colonial administrative boundaries rather than ethnic or historical African political entities. In alternate history scenarios, different timelines of independence, alternative border arrangements, or changed relationships with former colonial powers can dramatically alter African and global geopolitical development.
