Answer/Explanation:

In Africa countries like Kenya, Algeria, and Zimbabwe had large populations of white settlers and this made their struggles for independence was a very violent one.

In these countries, white minorities, either with the support of their colonial governments (e.g. Algeria) or through independent armies (e.g. “Rhodesia” in Zimbabwe), attempted to retain control of land and government. Not too long after independence, countries where resources were concentrated in small regions there were civil wars in places like Katanga (copper-rich province) in the Democratic Republic of Congo or Biafra (a region with Crude oil deposit) in Nigeria.
