Detailed explanation-1: -People were angry at the British reforms, taxes, and unfair treatment placed on them. In 1857, an Indian rebellion called the Sepoy Mutiny broke out against British East Indian Company. This would lead to many other rebellions throughout the continent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Resistance took many forms. Beyond the violent/non-violent binary, resistance was expressed through demands for equality and freedom, religious opposition, economic and labor organization, mass protest, and war. Colonial rule led to resistance and, ultimately, to independence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Imperialism adversely affected the colonies. Under foreign rule, native culture and industry were destroyed. Imported goods wiped out local craft industries. By using colonies as sources of raw materials and markets for manufactured goods, colonial powers held back the colonies from developing industries.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ethiopia was able to negotiate alliances with the surrounding North African kingdoms and Russia, allowing it to be the only country in Africa to successfully withstand European colonialism.
