Answer:

1. Caused Civil Wars and Conflicts in Africa then and today

2. Improvemenets in roads, education, and government systems

3. Best farm land was given to white minority

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Many of the African borders were not off tribes, cultures etc. It was pruely off of what the European nations took over which leads to many many divisions in modern-day African countries.

2. Slave trade actually ended during the early 1800's by the British. (Began around mid 17th century)

3. Many European disease and African disease spread between eachother however the Africans were able to adapt the European disease and Europeans would produce Vaccines and quinine by French in 1817.

4. Simply the europeans believed they were racially superior to the Africans and very much exploited and abused the nautral resources and geographically aspects of Africa for their benefit.

5. Only certain European nations did do this such as Britain, and France, and Germany (major powers). They did this mainly to portray it better to the opposition to imperalism and to export more raw materials and make Afrians purchase these new products.

6. Opium was sold in China not Africa. (Opium Wars)
