• Why the French granted independence to most of its African colonies, but was willing to resort to violence to maintain a hold on Algeria.
• Compare attitudes of Algerian independence supporters to independence seekers in other regions (e.g. India, Vietnam, etc.)
• The role of black nationalism in Ghana's independence movement.
• How the apartheid system in South Africa affected its independence process.
