Aspect 3- South Africa

White cultural groups believed that they were superior to black cultural groups resulting in the government setting up the system of apartheid.
The apartheid system stopped all inter-racial marriage & friendship (known as the "Prohibition of Mixed Marriages act, 1949"), if people were caught in these relationships they would have been punished.
The system of apartheid was a policy of segregation & discrimination towards people with coloured skin
The apartheid system was made up of laws forcing different racial groups to live & develop separately & grossly unequally.
South Africa began to receive criticism from from other countries swell as organisations like the 'African National Congress' (ANC).
-Protests began due to the public unrest from the black community being sick of the apartheid policy
1960- 70 black protesters shot dead by South African police at peaceful protest outside of Sharpeville Police station (Sharpeville massacre)
1961- Nelson Mandela promoted to head of ANC's military wing, Peaceful protests turned violent, ANC were labelled as a terroist organisation.

The group is made up of 30million people in Western Asia, and is the 4th largest ethnic group in the Middle East but they still don't have any state of their own.
