The European partitioning of Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries often ignored existing ethnic, cultural, and social boundaries, leading to arbitrary borders that grouped diverse groups together or split cohesive communities apart. This created tensions and rivalries among different ethnic groups, often exacerbated by colonial policies that favored certain groups over others. After independence, these unresolved conflicts and divisions often erupted into civil wars as newly formed states struggled to establish unity and governance amidst deep-seated grievances. The legacy of colonialism, combined with economic struggles and political instability, further fueled these violent conflicts.

How does competition lead to resource partitioning?
Competition for limited resources can lead to resource partitioning as species adapt to minimize direct competition. By exploiting different resources or utilizing the same resources in different ways or at different times, species can coexist more successfully. This can result in niche differentiation, where each species occupies a unique ecological niche, thereby reducing overlap and competition. Consequently, resource partitioning enhances biodiversity and ecosystem stability.

How did new sea routes lead to an expanded European presence in Africa?
New sea routes, established during the Age of Exploration, allowed European powers to navigate around Africa, facilitating direct trade with Asia and the Americas. These routes enabled easier access to Africa's resources, such as gold, ivory, and later, slaves, prompting increased European exploration and colonization. As maritime technology improved, nations like Portugal, Spain, and later the British and Dutch intensified their presence on the continent, establishing coastal trading posts and colonies. This expansion significantly influenced Africa's economic and political landscape, leading to prolonged European involvement in the region.
