Detailed explanation-1: -The creation of these borders had a negative impact on Africa’s political and social structures by either dividing groups that wanted to be together or combining ethnic groups that were enemies. Europeans placed colonies into administrative districts and forced the Africans to go along with their demands.
Detailed explanation-2: -In order to gain power, Europeans encouraged Africans to fight against each other. New political boundaries caused ethnic groups to clash.
Detailed explanation-3: -The reasons for African colonisation were mainly economic, political and religious. During this time of colonisation, an economic depression was occurring in Europe, and powerful countries such as Germany, France, and Great Britain, were losing money.
Detailed explanation-4: -Colonialism made African colonies dependent by introducing a mono-cultural economy for the territories. It also dehumanized African labour force and traders. It forced Africans to work in colonial plantations at very low wages and displaced them from their lands.
