Answer: Bad

Explanation: Colonisation in Africa started in the 17th century and until the 19th century. However, even after colonization ended, its negative impact has remained amongst all. Even though the European colonizers said they were going to Africa to civilized, they actually went there to acquire raw materials for their industries in Europe.

Some of the negative impacts colonization has on Africa are:

  • Colonization brought different types of diseases
  • Colonization disrupted local communities from developing
  • Colonization causes slavery and racism towards Africans/Black people
  • Africans lost their political independence

There are several factors you can mention. I would recommend you do a little research on the topic to learn more.
