how has european colonization affected africa?

Answer 1

Europe's effects on Africa are quite interesting.

On one hand, Europeans helped to modernize many nations and create industries and jobs. Some people think Africa was better under European control...

However, Europeans are responsible for creating the modern borders of African nations. When they did this, many ethnic groups with different goals were placed in the SAME nation. This resulted in the civil wars that Africa is so famous for. If Africans had been able to create their own national boundaries, Africa actually would probably have much less wars, and be more successful today!
