Drill 25 · Multiple Choice · Unit 8: Cold War and Decolonization
AP World History Unit 8 Drill 25 is a Multiple Choice practice drill covering Unit 8: Cold War and Decolonization. It contains 5 original questions created by Brian Stewart, a Barron's test prep author with over 20 years of tutoring experience.
This AP World History Unit 8 drill is based on Kwame Nkrumah's speech at Ghanaian independence (1957). Questions analyze Nkrumah's central argument, his Pan-African vision linking Ghana's independence to continental liberation, and the broader context of African decolonization and the challenges newly independent states faced.
From Kwame Nkrumah’s speech at Ghanaian independence, Accra, Ghana, March 6, 1957 CE.
“At long last, the battle has ended! And thus, Ghana, your beloved country is free forever!
And yet again, I want to take the opportunity to thank the chiefs and people of this country; the youth, the farmers, the women who have so nobly fought and won the battle. […]
And, as I pointed out[…] from now on, today, we must change our attitudes and our minds. We must realise that from now on we are no longer a colonial but free and independent people. […] That new Africa is ready to fight his own battles and show that after all the black man is capable of managing his own affairs.
We are going to demonstrate to the world, to the other nations, that we are prepared to lay our foundation — our own African personality. […]
We have won the battle and again rededicate ourselves: our independence is meaningless unless it is linked up with the total liberation of Africa.”
