What time period was noted for the establishment of 35 new countries in Africa?

The establishment of 35 new countries in Africa primarily took place during the period between 1955 and 1965, a time frame characterized by decolonization and the push for independence from colonial rule. Many African nations gained independence from European powers during this decade as a result of various factors, including nationalist movements, international support, and changing attitudes toward colonialism following World War II. This was part of a larger wave of decolonization that occurred globally after the war, but Africa experienced a particularly intense period of independence during these years, leading to significant shifts in political boundaries and governance across the continent.

The choices capturing earlier or later years do not align with the peak of African independence movements; thus, they reflect periods with substantially fewer new nations emerging.
