The Europeans had already explored various parts of Africa and had acquire vast knowledge of its terrain, its weaknessess and strenght. Therefore they knew how,where and when to attack Africa. Secondly, they used intriques by causing bitter rivalry between various African States,kingdoms and societies somuch so that by the time they struck no African kingdom was there to help another kingdom as they were left at the mercy of the European armies. Thirdly, various African states then, were using only bows and arrows which was never a match to the European gunboats,maxim guns and artillery. These largely explain why early African resistance movements failed.
