Question

How did European countries respond to their African colonies after world war 1?

Answer 1

They relied more heavily on African colonies to provide resources to help Europe

Answer 2

African Colonies aided European nations supplying them with soldiers during the war. After the war ended, many residents from these territories were inspired by President Woodrow Wilson's "14 points" speech in 1918 about open trade and democracy. This led to a series of revolutionary movements throughout Africa that were continuously suppressed after the end of the First World War.
