Detailed explanation-1: -Africans across the continent resisted colonial demands and took up arms against European colonizers during World War I.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Economic policies were adopted by Europeans who destroyed the colonies, rather than help them. Africa was damaged economically, politically, and culturally.
