The purpose of the Jim Crow laws was to segregate and disenfranchise black Americans. The Jim Crow system, which was a racial caste class in actuality, was a series of immutable anti-black laws that mainly deprived African Americans the right to suffrage.

SOVA2 [1]
<span>Which three conditions helped bring about African independence?

B: The Pan-African movement encouraged nationalism and independence for Africa
D: European governments had been weakened by World War II.
E: African nations wanted to avoid the Cold War.

The Pan-African movement had already begun at the turn of the century, but became an even stronger movement in the mid-20th century.  </span><span>Kwame Nkrumah, who became the first Prime Minister and President of the State of newly independent Ghana in 1957, was a key leader in that movement.

The weakened states of European countries due to the war also made them less able to maintain their overseas empires after the war.
</span>
And the Non-Alignment Movement (NAM) was influential after World War II.  A number of African nations were participants in that movement, which believed the Cold War superpowers were creating a world that worked against independence and sovereignty and peace for other nations.  One of the leaders of the non-alignment movement, Jawaharlal Nehru, said in a speech in 1948:  "When we say our policy is one of non-alignment, obviously we mean non-alignment with military blocs."  The Non-Aligned Movement held its first conference in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1961.  The members of the movement sought to remain non-aligned for the sake of their own opportunity for development and independence and peace.

Afghanistan is considered more Central Asian or South Asian <br><br> Why?
Luden [163]
<span>Because of simple ignorance. Almost no Afghans consider themselves “South Asian” in real life. The truth is that words such as “Middle Eastern,” “South Asian,” “Central Asian,” etc. are just words Western explorers who never set foot in half of these countries assigned to them. They probably just assumed that all of the “stan” countries would be similar and called it a day. Afghanistan is an Eastern Iranic country that sits on the Iranian Plateau. There is nothing South Asian about it at all.</span>
