The Pan-African Movements emerged as a result of European racial domination. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European powers had colonized and dominated most of Africa, leading to the exploitation and oppression of African peoples. In response, various Pan-African Movements emerged, advocating for the unity and solidarity of African peoples in their struggle against colonialism and racism. These movements sought to promote African self-determination and liberation, and played a significant role in the eventual decolonization of Africa in the mid-20th century.
