Question

Invading countries took care to be respectful of Africa's traditional existing boundaries.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The answer is false. European powers that were looking for new resources drove into Africa and began to set up colonies. This resulted in various conflicts between African tribes and Europeans who were now occupying their land and taking their resources. The European powers began dividing the African Continent among them and many Africans were now under European rule.
