World War 1 had a significant impact on colonial peoples in Africa, as it led to increased demands for resources and manpower from the colonies to support the war efforts of European powers. This resulted in the exploitation and oppression of African populations, as they were subjected to forced labor, conscription, and harsh living conditions. Additionally, the war disrupted local economies and social structures, leading to widespread poverty and instability in many African colonies. Overall, World War 1 exacerbated the already existing inequalities and injustices faced by colonial peoples in Africa.
