Step-by-step explanation:

When a nation is invaded and governed by a majorly powerful country, it is called imperialism. European countries rampantly colonized countries with an abundance in natural resources but weaker military power in 19th and 20th centuries. African countries were also aggressively colonized by European imperialists in order to get hold of the African resources. European colonizers were brutal in their approach and greatly oppressed the Africans.

Under the imperial rule, African suffered economically as well as culturally. The local industry was demolished by the import abundance. Taxes were levied unfairly which increase the poverty among locals. In conclusion, the imperialists hindered the development of Africans by their ways oppression.
