Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

New borders were drawn through the territories of every tenth ethnic group. Trade routes were cut, because commerce with people outside one's colony was forbidden. Studies have shown that societies through which new frontiers were driven would later be far more likely to suffer from civil war or poverty. African villages lost their manpower for food production, leading to famine. Traditional African villages started to decline and Europeans started employing Asian immigrants, creating tension between the Asians and Africans. The economic structure of African society was changed by Europeans.
