1) Discuss some of the challenges that newly independent nations faced. Bring in one primary source. You can use the videos or the Andrea reading. There are also primary sources on the Mau Mau resources link. I'd like about 300 words.

2) This last forum is intended to get you thinking about writing the final exam. When historians write the history of the era we are living, what will they discuss? How will they interpret these events and issues? How can you link issues of today to some of the major themes and events of world history since 1700?
