Comparing Nehru speech, Ho Chi Minh speech, and Nkrumah speech, I think Ho Chi Minh is most convincing. Because he not only described the war to cause readers’ sympathy and listeners’ determination, but also stated clear, strong, and simple goals and quoted the American Independent declaration to encourage people to revolt. For example, Ho Chi Minh stated American independent declaration and successful revolution of Vietnam for encouraging civilian, “all men are created equal.

So, he encouraged people, and stated the Ghana’s disadvantages and the solutions for people that can give them hope. For example, he analyzed the Africa needed to develop economy firstly. Even though Africans were very poor, but their lands have many mineral resources and crops.

He thought the Africa wanted to receive the respects from world that needed to unity and created a political union. He analyzed the Africans having the same benefits, they should overcome difficulties to achieve political union for developing Africa at first. Because African countries have the similar past history, present problems and future hopes. It was easily to achieve the goal (Nkrumah, Kwame Nkrumah: I Speak of Freedom, p1-2).
To summarize, these three speeches mainly talked about equal rights and liberty. In the Nehru speech, I think he not very clearly said what exactly goals that Indian need to do. This speech not very simple for most people, because at time most people were not educated. In the Nkrumah speech, I think it also good. He talked very clear purposes. But in the Ho Chi Minh speech, he talked the unbearable colonial history and stated simple plans that people can easily understand, because most people not be educated. Thus, I think the Ho Chi Minh speech is most
