Stories to be tolled

A Call to Action - the 'Wind of Change' speech


Listen Later

Tracy DW presents her perspective on a one of the most crucial speeches made in modern history.

The end of World War 2 brings about the decline of Britain as a super power and the rise of nationalism within many of its colonies. As a result, African and Caribbean nations begin a struggle to regain their national identities while becoming the centrepiece in a tug-of-war between two ideologies.

Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's 'Wind of Change' in 1960 represents a call to action for Britain and Europe who find themselves  in unchartered  territory; having the ability to bring about change while being powerless in directing its course.
