##isation of africa
south africa's attempts to absorb south west africa became a matter of contention during the 1960s as a result of the increasingly widespread decolonisation of the african continent. over the next decade, low intensity conflicts broke out in many of the remaining european colonies as militant african nationalist movements emerged, often with direct backing from the soviet union and revolutionary left-wing governments in the middle east. the nationalists were often encouraged to take up arms by the success of indigenous anti-colonial guerrilla movements around the world, namely in french indochina and french algeria, as well as the rhetoric of contemporary african statesmen such as ahmed ben bella, gamal abdel nasser, and julius nyerere.
