Grade 11 - WORLD HISTORY SINCE 1900: GLOBAL AND REGIONAL INTERACTIONS

Collective rights

Explain the impact of nationalism and the decline of colonialism on identity, citizenship, and/or heritage in countries in two or more regions of the world during this period (e.g., in Israel, Palestine, Vietnam, Algeria, India, Pakistan, Northern Ireland, Biafra, Namibia, Libya, Sudan, or Czechoslovakia; with respect to the Kurds in Iraq, the Basques in Spain, or the Québécois in Canada). Sample questions: “Why did so many African countries achieve political independence in the 1950s and 1960s? In what ways did these countries change with independence? What was the heritage of colonialism for these emerging states?”
