The Europeans left a racialized, tribalised Africa. This was due to their "divide and rule" political system. African were pushed into rural, interior areas and could not move out of these areas. In addition, their movements out of the reserves were controlled through the Kipande system. The result was the rise of ethnic identities. We can thus argue that the colonial indirect rule was itself ethnic; it was ethnicity in itself.
Colonization in Latin America and Africa had similarities in terms of exploitation, imposition of new cultures, and economic motives by European powers. However, the specific dynamics, impacts, and legacies of colonization differed due to factors such as the existing societies, geography, and forms of resistance in each region.

Some missionaries supported European colonization of Africa because they believed it provided an opportunity to spread Christianity and promote Western values, which they viewed as a civilizing mission. They often saw colonization as a means to improve the lives of African people through education, healthcare, and social reforms. However, this support was complex, as it sometimes ignored the negative impacts of colonization, including cultural erasure and exploitation. Ultimately, many missionaries thought that their religious and moral goals aligned with colonial ambitions.

Switzerland did not colonise Africa.
The colonization of Africa was a capitalist enterprise, not a socialist one. Socialists generally opposed the exploitation of foreign lands for the benefit of the wealthy.
It is estimated that there were around 7,000 languages spoken before colonization. However, many of these languages have become extinct or are endangered due to the impacts of colonization and globalization.
