Go with Africa and India. In India you can write about how England used India in order to wreak profit for itself. They used the land for opium, tea and other raw products. India was considered the Jewel of England’s crown. For Africa you can say how many different European countries and even the Middle East depending on with era you are talking about (Abbasid/Ottoman) used Africa in order to get gold, silver and raw products. In order to do this they completely divided the African people and changed the boundaries of different areas making enemies live together. I an essay like this last year in AP World. I hope that helps.

Africa is a continent which was colonized by several European powers: France, Belgium, Portugal, Germany and England all had stakes in Africa.

A good bet would be to compare the French administered nations of West Africa with what happened in India. There has been civil war and unrest for most of the last 50 years in much of East Africa, while India has become a stable democracy since Gandhi's non-violent revolution.
