What was the biggest challenge before African Nationalism ?
Answer: C
The key gives Tribal divisions as the biggest challenge.
The colonial borders of Africa were drawn with little regard to the peoples living within them, so most new states held many ethnic or 'tribal' groups with their own loyalties. Nationalist leaders had to build a single national identity on top of these, and ethnic rivalry repeatedly threatened unity, as the Biafran war in Nigeria showed.
Linguistic diversity was eased by colonial lingua francas such as English, French and Swahili; economic grievances fed nationalism more than they obstructed it; and religion divided fewer states than ethnicity did.
