Perhaps never before has talked so much about Africa, as in 1960 and 1961. The world witnessed the birth of new nations, saw the collapse of the "classic" colonial empires. In Africa, this process was particularly evident, palpable, even for people far from Africa's problems. Representatives of the oppressed peoples of the centuries-old slavery suddenly appeared in Western capitals, speaking to international fora, their problems filled the pages of major newspapers around the world. African diplomats representing their sovereign states, have led to confusion of American racists, when they began to search the premises for their Washington embassy, go to restaurants and travel around the country, not looking at the warning: "Whites Only." Not that it was unexpected. The collapse of colonialism was a natural process and natural. Knew about it, ready for it on both the front line: the forces of national liberation movements and their supporting all progressive humanity, on the one hand, and the forces of reaction, the imperialist, especially colonial powers on the other. 1960-1961 years were the time of the devastating attack on colonialism. As always happens in moments of greatest intensification of the struggle, with very clearly manifested disgusting bestial essence of the policy of the imperialists in the colonial or ex-dependent peoples and countries. An acute attack of anger caused the collapse of the colonial world in the U.S. as it is. occurs at a time when the recognized leader of the capitalist world is U.S. imperialism. There were numerous articles and reports critical of the policy of the Eisenhower Administration for lack of activity in African affairs. While offering countless plans in order to strengthen the role of the U.S. in Africa. However, when the first excitement subsided imperialist hysterical and more sober observers in the same United States began to look closely to the policy pursued by the United States in the postwar period, in relation to one of the richest in natural resources continent of the world, it appears that American capital can not be accused of a lack interest in Africa. Revealed the facts, like the rays of spotlights illuminated the ugly activities of American monopolists and political figures, which otherwise, as colonialist, not name. |
