- 5. African resistance to colonialism took many forms, from armed rebellion to nonviolent protest. Some African leaders sought to negotiate with European powers, while others called for outright resistance to colonial rule. Resistance movements often faced brutal repression, but they helped to inspire a sense of national identity and pride among Africans.
