Detailed explanation-1: -Why did many of the boundaries of the new African states created after World War II cause problems? The boundaries split tribes and kinship groups. Which was most often used to draw new boundaries for African countries? Europeans followed the old colonial boundaries.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rivalry between European powers was also one of the main drives behind the Scramble for Africa. In order to prevent each other from acquiring more territories, the Europeans carved up the African continent into colonies.
