WAEC - Government (2022 - No. 22)

Proto-nationalism refers to the early forms of nationalist sentiment and movements that emerged in various parts of Africa prior to gaining independence from colonial rule. During this period, there was a focus on advocating for reforms within the existing political structures, as well as a demand for respect for African cultures, religions, and traditions. The emphasis was on addressing social and political issues within the colonial framework rather than an immediate end to colonialism.
