Moscou, Belgrade et l’anticolonialisme: dynamiques historiques d’une aide extérieure à l’émancipation de l’Afrique (dé)colonisée (1920-1990)
Abstract
The holistic perspective of the support that the Eastern bloc provided to nationalist movements with during the last century hinders inner dynamics that accompanied it. While setting up the relevance of communist countries’ anticolonialism to decolonization during the Cold War, this article explores and shows differences in the forms of support proposed by Yugoslavia and USSR, to shed light on the history of decolonization. It brings out the relationship between the colonization process and eastern bloc attempts to undermine Western domination in Africa on one hand, and on the other hand for the constitution of an international community made up of equal sovereign states.
