Correct answer is C

The Second World War brought into focus the illegality of colonialism in Africa. It is true that most African nations became related after the war in the attempt to regain their lost so vereignty. The effect of the Second World War on Africa situation especially in the area of self-government and self-determination was very vital, it contributed more to a new political climate, the rise of nationalism and the waging of independence campaigns in various colonies as well as the new domestic priorities in the post-war period for colonial rulers. The war however saw the rise and demand for hurriedness in the process of administrative government. By the end of the Second World War, Africa has been well- equipped for the task of nation building. A quite number of African leaders played vital roles in the struggle of political independence in the 1950s.
