Ch. 23

Nelson Mandela became South Aftica's first black president in 1994. as he was sent to prison for 27 years for treason, sabotage, and conspiracy. in the late 1940s many countries ended the time of empires and got their independence. countries like india, pakistan, syria, the phillipines, jordan, and israel. this chapter to me is mainly about the inportance of many countries coming out of ruling of empires as they grew tired and opressed with the ruling. as there were many struggles in many peoples live trying to get their independence. as Mohandas Ghandi came in to this situation as he became the leader of the INC. as Ghandi as he attacked the mistreatment of untouchables in  India and the bad parts of modernization.as not many people agreed with the ideas of Ghandi because it was the time of when Muslims and Hindus are in conflict. as both Hindu got their independence in india mainly for Hindus and Muslims got their independence in Pakistan.
