Answer 2

the effects are many different countries now eat different types of food speak different lanugages depending on the different colonial powers and they are more split apart because the colonial powers tried so hard to split them up so they wouldn't all revolt against them but then again it was bound to happen

Answer 3

It created friction or hostility toward the colonizers, and placed various groups under the same rule, which added instability. The artificial borders of colonies did not follow the earlier territorial lines between native Africans. Additionally, it brought European conflicts into the newly claimed areas.

Answer 4

one of the affects is colonial rule helped Africans set up the outward forms of democratic government, because most African nations had few expierenced leaders. Another is they helped build roads, bridges, railroads, and dredged harbors for seagoing ships. Lastly they built schools and introduced new farming methods.

Answer 5

While some people would say there were positive effects (such as modernization-- the colonial powers brought telephone, radio, television, and other new technologies, as well as vaccines, advances in medicine and new universities), many scholars believe colonialism was mostly negative for the average African. The colonial rulers set up a system where white Europeans prospered, often at the effect of the native people, who were treated as second-class citizens in their own nations. They were expected to accept the colonial ruler's religion, as well as speaking the language of the ruling country. African customs were often looked down upon, and treated as "primitive" by the colonial powers, who expected the native populations to act "western."

Africans under colonial rule were often denied equal opportunity in education, and were subjected to racist beliefs, that limited how far they could advance in their careers. Many European rulers plundered the Natural Resources of African countries (the Belgian Congo is a good example; King Leopold and his acolytes became wealthy, while Congolese people worked in the mines under brutal conditions); and when these countries finally became independent, they were often left in dire poverty, without any infrastructure (such as paved roads or modern telecommunications) and little understanding of how to make government work. The legacy of colonial rule persists even today, as corrupt and ineffective governments in some African countries (including the Congo) are led by dictators or leaders who only care about power. But on the other hand, a small number of countries have been very successful at creating modern democracies, where leaders preside over an educated population, keeping the best aspects of colonialism while being true to African culture.
