External influences refer to the impact that events or actions outside of a country have on its political and social development. In the case of nationalist movements, external influences often played a significant role in shaping the goals and strategies of these movements. Here are some examples of external influences on nationalist movements:

  1. The Russian Revolution: The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917 had a profound impact on nationalist movements across the world. The idea of socialism and workers’ rights spread rapidly, and many nationalist movements began to incorporate socialist ideas into their platforms.
  2. The Pan-African Congress: The Pan-African Congress was a series of meetings held by African nationalists in the early 20th century to discuss strategies for achieving independence from colonial powers. These meetings were attended by leaders such as Kwame Nkrumah, Jomo Kenyatta, and Julius Nyerere, who later went on to lead their countries to independence.
  3. Mahatma Gandhi’s nonviolent resistance: Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolent resistance inspired many nationalist movements around the world, including the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the African National Congress in South Africa.
  4. Cold War politics: During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union both sought to influence nationalist movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The US supported anti-communist regimes and movements, while the Soviet Union supported socialist and communist movements.
  5. The United Nations: The United Nations was established in 1945 with the goal of promoting international cooperation and preventing war. The UN played a role in decolonization, supporting nationalist movements in their struggle for independence
