Answer: The border lines were drawn by the Europeans only on the African nations because of which the people of different cultures had to live together leading to violence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The border lines of the African nations was not drawn by the nations themselves. It was drawn by the Europeans only. Because of this people of different cultures had to live together.

This led to the violence and war among the people of different cultures who were living in together in the countries. To avoid all this, the border lines should have been drawn by the people of Africa only and not be the Europeans.
