Detailed explanation-1: -The European imperialist push into Africa was motivated by three main factors, economic, political, and social.
Detailed explanation-2: -Imperialism disrupted traditional African ways of life, political organization, and social norms. European imperialism turned subsistence farming into large-scale commodity exports and patriarchal social structures into European-dominated hierarchies and imposed Christianity and Western ideals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ethiopia resisted imperialism by defeating the Italians at the Battle of Adowa/Adwa in 1896. The result was that it kept its independence until the 1930s, when Italy invaded once more.
Detailed explanation-4: -Before 1880 colonial possessions in Africa were relatively few and limited to coastal areas, with large sections of the coastline and almost all the interior still independent. By 1900 Africa was almost entirely divided into separate territories that were under the administration of European nations.
