WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The borders that were established for many African nations during the 1800s was based on territorial claims of colonial rulers. As they partitioned Africa, they paid little attention to traditional tribal boundaries and disregarded the cultural and ethnic diversity of the African people.

Detailed explanation-2: -Colonialism made African colonies dependent by introducing a mono-cultural economy for the territories. It also dehumanized African labour force and traders. It forced Africans to work in colonial plantations at very low wages and displaced them from their lands.

Detailed explanation-3: -The conditions that led African peoples to resist colonial rule often emerged from longstanding grievances against colonial labor exploitation, taxation, racist and paternalist practices, arbitrary violence, and political illegitimacy.

Detailed explanation-4: -African resistance to European imperialism failed because the European colonizers brought with them advanced military technology that African forces were not able to counter.

Detailed explanation-5: -The European partitioning of Africa contributed to conflict, civil war, and artificial political boundaries. New African governments did not have experience governing or solving conflicts so force became a way to solve problems.
