Detailed explanation-1: -The Scramble for Africa has contributed to economic, social, and political underdevelopment by spurring ethnic-tainted civil conflict and discrimination and by shaping the ethnic composition, size, shape and landlocked status of the newly independent states.
Detailed explanation-2: -First of all, the partition of Africa laid the foundation for the Europeans to colonize the continent. After the partition of the continent among the various European countries trading in Africa, any territory where a European country had spheres of influence “legally” became a colony for that European country.
Detailed explanation-3: -The European partitioning of Africa contributed to conflict, civil war, and artificial political boundaries. New African governments did not have experience governing or solving conflicts so force became a way to solve problems.
Detailed explanation-4: -Africans were forced to work under terrible conditions on plantations, railways, and logging. In order to gain power, Europeans encouraged Africans to fight against each other. New political boundaries caused ethnic groups to clash. This has led to ethnic and political unrest in Africa today.
