Introduction:
The nation state with its government ministries, courts, border officials, a capital<br /> city, a head of state and the right to govern own internal affairs is a European<br /> concept that was defined in 1648, after a 30 year long war. The peace treaty in<br /> Westphalia stated that the nation should have the right to rule itself without<br /> interference from other nations. In the next centuries, nationalism as a feeling of<br /> attachment to the nation was developed in Europe. It was exploited by the rulers of<br /> nation states that wanted people to be proud of their own state and ready to fight for<br /> it against other people in the name of the nation, and nationalism was the banner of<br /> freedom for peoples within the Ottoman Empire, where people of the Balkans fought<br /> for their own nation states free of Ottoman rule.<br /> <br /> The European nation state was in principle regarded as independent and inviolable<br /> but wars were fought every so often. In the rest of the world Europeans saw it as<br /> their natural right to take colonies without any regard for local people whether or not<br /> they had a king and a government or were living as hunters and gatherers. For the<br /> Europeans the nation state was not for people from other continents.<br /> <br /> In the early 1900s, colonial empires dominated the world. The biggest were Britain,<br /> France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, the USA and Japan.<br /> When the UN was founded in 1945 it had around 50 members, as the colonized<br /> world had not yet achieved independence. Today the UN has around 200 members.<br /> Most peoples of Africa were not organized in nations when they were colonized. Yet<br /> liberation movements were organized within colonial borders and the goal of<br /> freedom fighters became to build a modern nation, even when colonial borders cut<br /> through local groups or included many diverse peoples.<br /> <br /> The freedom fight was also a cultural struggle against a colonizer that called local<br /> people inferior. The cultural struggle built national pride as people rallied in support<br /> of movements that fought for national liberation.<br /> In some countries the struggles were very violent as in Algeria, Vietnam and Kenya.<br /> <br /> The age of national liberation struggles started in August 1945, when Indonesian<br /> nationalists declared independence. Then followed many years of struggles in the<br /> name of national liberation. We might say that the age of liberation struggles ended<br /> in 1993, when South Africa achieved a black majority rule.<br /> <br /> The UN has a committee on decolonization that keeps a list of 16 colonial territories.<br /> Most are small islands. The two larger areas are: <div style="margin-left: 40px;">- Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony, that has been occupied by Morocco<br /> which has led to Morocco’s exclusion from the African Union, and<br /> - New Caledonian, a Pacific island with 250,000 inhabitants ruled by France.</div> <br /> France must hold a referendum on independence on the island before 2019.<br /> Some areas are not on the list such as Puerto Rico, a possession in the Caribbean that<br /> USA will not call colony even though it is treated as such. But these are exceptions.<br /> The vast majority of former colonies today have legal status as independent nations.<br /> Even though many continue to be dependent on the former colonial powers.<br /> You will read about these events in the texts and then you will focus specifically on<br /> the Algerian struggle for independence. This was the most bloody liberation struggle<br /> in Africa. It cost the lives of one million people. As the French waged an extremely<br /> vicious war it in the end brought down the government (as happened later in<br /> Portugal when the dictatorship was ended by a mutiny in the army caused by the<br /> liberation wars in Mozambique, Angola and Guinea Bissau).<br /> <br /> Frantz Fanon was black doctor from the French colony, Martinique, in the<br /> Caribbean. He fought with the French Army in World War II. He then moved to<br /> Algeria to work as a doctor while secretly assisting the liberation movement. His<br /> books on the independence struggle had a major impact on generations of African<br /> liberation fighters and radicalized many politicians. They remain classics in the<br /> literature on national liberation movements.
Directive:
1. Read the texts from History Front.<br /> <br /> 2. Write a short answer to the questions <div style="margin-left: 40px;">- Why were the national liberation movements of the colonized world able to gain<br /> independence after World War II in a relatively short period of time?<br /> - How did they do so?<br /> </div> 3. Read the texts by Frantz Fanon and prepare an introduction to the film “The<br /> battle for Algiers”<br /> <br /> 4. Show the film (<em><strong>The battle for Algiers</strong></em>) to a group of DNS student, fellow students or other interested in<br /> the issue of African liberation struggles and conclude with the group on what can be<br /> learnt from this film – and whether it has any lesson for people in 2011 when war<br /> again is raging in North Africa.<br /> <br /> 5. Send your answers (2) and the conclusions on the discussion on The battle for<br /> Algiers (4).
