Answer:

Warring tribes were forced together. resulting in many ethnic wars.

European colonizers stripped much of the wealth away from Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution or distribution of Africa, also called the dispute for Africa or the race for Africa, was the invasion, territorial division, colonization and the annexation of African territories during the period of the New Imperialism, between the 1880s and the beginning of the First World War, which involved France, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, Belgium and Spain, justified in different claims of these countries.

The second half of the nineteenth century, in the year 1877, saw the transition from "informal" imperialism that exercised control through military influence and economic domination to that of direct domination. Attempts to mediate imperial competition, such as the Berlin Conference (1884-1885) between the British Empire, French Third Republic and German Empire could not definitively establish the claims of each of the powers involved. These disputes over Africa were among the main factors that originated the First World War.

The partition of Africa by the colonial powers led to warring tribes being put together as countries. The Europeans also extracted Africa’s resources
