The economy in Africa changed significantly due to European colonization. European powers exploited Africa's resources for their own benefit, leading to the extraction of Natural Resources, forced labor, and the establishment of trade networks that favored European countries. This exploitation disrupted traditional African economies and led to the impoverishment of many African communities. Additionally, the introduction of cash crops and the imposition of taxes further disrupted local economies and led to a dependence on European markets. Overall, European colonization had a detrimental impact on the economic development of Africa.
Africa was stripped of many of resources by the European powers who divided it into numerous colonies for each of the different powers. Africa was rich in natural resources, leading to the rise of European industry when these materials were exported to Europe. Africans were typically not taught about how to understand or use modern industrial technologies, preventing them from developing local industrial regions. They also were prevented from learning European philosophical constructs like nationalism, thus avoiding the possibility of African tribes uniting in European-style nation-states.

The European domination and colonization of America led to significant cultural changes, as indigenous populations were forced to adapt to new languages, religions, and customs. It also resulted in the mass exploitation of natural resources and the introduction of diseases that devastated native populations. The colonization also established a pattern of inequality and exploitation that continues to impact the continent to this day.
The discoveries of diamonds in 1867 and gold in 1886 in South Africa increased Europeans interest in colonizing the continent
Africa has undergone significant changes over time, including colonization by European powers, struggles for independence and self-governance, economic development, and political instability. The continent has seen advancements in technology and infrastructure, as well as challenges such as poverty, conflict, and disease.

Colonization evolved from exploratory ventures by individuals to organized campaigns by nation-states. It started with early European exploration and trading posts, then led to large-scale settlement and resource extraction. As colonization progressed, resistance from indigenous populations grew stronger, leading to decolonization movements and the eventual end of many colonial empires in the 20th century.
No, they haven't changed, but the population of the American bison declined. Before European colonization there were 30 million bison on the plains. After the colonies and western movements the population went down to 17,000.
