The End of Empire: The Global South On The Global Stage

(1914-present): this chapter starts off with national leader Nelson Mandela. He was "South Africa`s nationalist leader, first uttered these words in 1964 for his trial for treason, sabotage, and conspiracy to overthrow the apartheid government of his country. Convicted of those charges, he spent the next twenty- seven years in prison"(975, Strayer).
As this chapter went on topics like the struggles for independence came up. "in 1900, European colonial empires in Arica, Asia, the Caribbean region, and the Pacific Ocean appeared as enduring features of the worlds political Landscape. Well before the 20th century, they were gone." (976, Strayer)

There is a timeline on the page (977, Strayer)  that helped me a lot. It summarized all of the events like in 1915 Gandi comes back to India after being in South Africa, 1923-1938 Turkeys secular modernized intiaated under Kernal Ataturk, 1928 muslim brotherhood established in EGYPT , 1947 indepencence of Indnia/ Pakistan, 1948 the stage of Isreal established; aparttheid (formally made in South Africa), 1949 indepedncdence of Indonesia; commit victory in china, 1955 Bandug conferencfe of nonaligned nationas, 1957-1975 indpenedence of Arican countires, 1959 Cuban revolution, 1960-1970s wave of military coups in Africa and Latin America, 1973 OPEC oil embrogo, 1979 revolution in iran, 1980s-1990s growth of democrtic movements and governments in Africa and Latin America, 1988-1989 founidng of al-qaeda, 1994 end of apartheid in south africa, genocide in rwanda, 2011 Arab Spring in the Middle East, 2013 Turkish young people in istanbul protest th eislamist and authoritarian trends of the government, 2013 Iran elects a moderate president, raising hopes of agreement with the west on itd nuckear program, 2014 radical Islamist organizations Boko  Haram captures over 200 schoolgirls in northern Nigeria, 2015 Radical French Muslisms in oaris attack a satirical magazine that had lampooned the Paris Muhammad.
