In the nineteenth century many European nations created vast colonies in Africa. By the end of the Age of Imperialism all of Africa, excluding Ethiopia, were under the rule of outside Europeans. This has had an influence even up to today. With the expansion into Africa, Europeans carved new borders in Africa. In many countries, the local people were oppressed and, in some cases, subject to extreme cruelty (as in the case of King Leopold's treatment of the Congo). Many countries experienced turmoil following the Europeans leaving and in areas with many white people, there were many years of racial discrimination. Most of the reason Africa is having such difficulties today is because of European imperialism.
