Question

1. by the late 1960s and early 1970s, most african colonies had regained their independence.

choose an answer
true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the historical timeline of African decolonization

The process of decolonization in Africa occurred primarily from the mid-1950s to the 1970s. The peak of this movement occurred in 1960, often referred to as the "Year of Africa," when 17 nations gained independence.

Evaluate the status by the late 1960s and early 1970s

By the late 1960s and early 1970s, the vast majority of African nations had successfully ended colonial rule and established self-governance. Only a few territories, primarily Portuguese colonies (like Angola and Mozambique) and white-minority ruled states in Southern Africa, remained under colonial or minority control into the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. Therefore, the statement that "most African colonies had regained their independence" by this time is historically accurate.

Answer:

• True (Correct answer)
• False
