Description

This section deals with the responses of communities and states in Southern and West Africa to their loss of independence. Students are expected to study in depth a variety of responses and compare and contrast the reasons for, and results of, resistance and collaboration in a very diverse region in which economic, political, social and religious factors made varying contributions to the nature of the responses.

• Khama’s rule and relations with British to 1923: a case study of collaboration

• Conquest and destruction of the Zulu Kingdom; deposition of Cetshwayo

• Asante: British intervention (1901); causes and results of Anglo–Asante wars

• Mandinka resistance to French rule: French intervention and the destruction of the Mandinka Empire (1880‑98)
