Which of the following best explains the impact of colonialism on post-colonial Africa?
A.) Plantation agriculture brought shared economic prosperity.
B.) Superpowers funded proxy conflicts between socialist and capitalist factions.
C.) White minorities in settler colonies immediately shared economic and political power with Black majorities.
D.) Country borders split ethnic groups and brought rivals together.
B.) Superpowers funded proxy conflicts between socialist and capitalist factions.
This option best explains the impact of colonialism on post-colonial Africa, as the legacy of colonialism often included divisions and conflicts within newly independent African nations as they navigated the tensions between different political and economic ideologies. Superpowers, such as the United States and the Soviet Union, often supported different factions in these conflicts, leading to further instability and strife in the region.
erm are you sure?
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. The correct explanation for the impact of colonialism on post-colonial Africa is:
D.) Country borders split ethnic groups and brought rivals together.
Colonialism often created arbitrary borders that did not align with existing ethnic or tribal territories, leading to divisions and conflicts among different groups within newly independent African nations. This fragmentation and mixing of different ethnicities and tribes has contributed to ongoing rivalries and tensions in many African countries.
