Answer 1

Answer: Millions of Africans died as a result of Western colonization.

Step-by-step explanation:

The consequences of the colonization of Africa were catastrophic for African society. Millions of people were exported from Africa as slaves, and many died doing hard slave labor. Millions of slaves were exported to America across the Atlantic Ocean, and many did not survive. Slaves were mostly engaged in doing the hardest jobs. Such a policy has permanently disrupted social relations in Africa.
