(i need 2 details for Nigeria and Kenya

Answer 1

Kenya and Nigeria both experienced independence movements to gain independence from Great Britain, but there were some differences between their movements. Here are two details for each country:

Kenya:

The independence movement in Kenya was led by a nationalist organization called the Kenya African National Union (KANU), while in Nigeria, the movement was led by multiple political parties such as the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) and the Action Group (AG).

The British colonial authorities responded to the Kenyan independence movement with extreme violence, including the use of concentration camps and brutal tactics such as "scorched earth" campaigns, which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Kenyans.

Nigeria:

Unlike Kenya, Nigeria had a federal system with three regions (Northern, Western, and Eastern), which made it more difficult to form a united front in the struggle for independence. There were also ethnic and religious divisions that had to be overcome.

The road to independence in Nigeria was marked by a series of constitutional conferences, with each conference leading to greater self-government and autonomy for the regions, culminating in independence in 1960.
