HIST 1031 Lecture Notes - Frantz Fanon
Document Summary
Many european troops started to leave north africa because they no longer had to power or desire to restrain the independence movements. In israel, britain supported the creation of a palestinian and jewish state next to each other. Israel then found itself fighting off attacks from its palestinian neighbors and other arab countries. By 1945, britain had the largest amount of debt and they were no longer a great power. The indian national conference was formed in 1885 was a forum for english-educated hindus who came together and argued for reform in india. Eventually, it began to embrace separatism, and became focused on gaining india independence from britain. There was tension between muslim and hindu indians. 1930, the muslim league was established, and widened the divide between the two groups. When travelling to south africa, gandhi saw the conditions that many poor africans were living in.
