Answer:

The long term effects of imperialism on the colonized people are political changes such as changing the government reflect upon European traditions, economic changes that made colonies create resources for factories, and cultural changes that made people convert their religion.

Prior to the era of Imperialism from the 1880s onward, Africans lived in a variety of ways. ... Imperialism changed all this, as Europeans disrupted these traditional ways and imposed their beliefs and social structures on colonized Africans. Europe and Africa had centuries of interaction before colonialism.
