By Michael Tadros Thesis: Pan Nationalism and the Indian Congress Movement were both attempts in uniting a certain people. For Africa, Pan Nationalism was an attempt to unite all African counties into one nation while the Indian Congress Movement was an attempt to unite Muslims and Hindus in India. Both attempts ended in failure as both fought in war instead of uniting.
