Answer 1

In my opinion, colonization created new countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider that the term country is related only to the physical territory, we can say that the creation did not create new countries, as new territories were not created.

However, I believe that the term "country" is related to the territory, culture and customs of a people, that is, it is related to the characteristics that determine that a people belongs to a particular country. In this case, we can say that colonization created new countries, as colonization allowed the mixing of cultures and customs, creating new cultures and new characteristics that intensely changed how Africans live, in addition, the influence of different European countries created many differences between African peoples that were already different from each other. In this case, we can consider that colonization was able to create new countries, new borders and new customs and cultures.
