Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The reasons for African colonisation were mainly economic, political and religious.
Detailed explanation-2: -Before 1880, Europeans had only made small incursions into Africa, with forts and trading posts mainly around the coast, according to Richard Dowden, director of the Royal African Society in Britain. The interior until then remained largely inaccessible to Europeans because of disease and difficulty of travel.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, unequal exchange, external integration and internal disarticulation, drain of wealth, and a foreign political domination may be understood as the four main features of colonialism.
