The division of the African continent was the most harmful political legacy of African imperialism.
Trade and European imperialism.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, and Portugal dominated African imperialism. Britain controlled vast territories including Egypt, South Africa, and Nigeria, while France expanded into West and Central Africa. Germany held colonies in present-day Namibia, Tanzania, and Cameroon, and Belgium is infamous for its brutal rule in the Congo. This scramble for Africa led to significant exploitation and lasting impacts on the continent's political, social, and economic structures.

European Imperialism played a horrifying role in Africa. When Europe discovered Africa's mineral wealth, they enslaved the peoples, believing themselves better.

You would have the European continent to the North and the African continent to the South.
Race played a significant role in European imperialism in Africa by justifying the exploitation and colonization of African territories. European powers often viewed themselves as racially superior, promoting the ideology of the "civilizing mission" to rationalize their domination over African peoples and cultures. This belief in racial hierarchy led to oppressive policies, economic exploitation, and the disregard for African autonomy and rights, contributing to long-lasting social and political ramifications on the continent. Such racial ideologies reinforced stereotypes that dehumanized African populations and facilitated the implementation of colonial systems.
African military forces focused on fighting one another rather than European armies.
