Why did the political boundaries created by Europeans make it hard for African nationalism to grow?
Answer (2)
The Europeans were constantly conquering the Africans and treating them like they were inferior to the white people. They converted them to Christianity, taught them English and other European subjects, etc. It was extremely hard for Africans to keep their culture and sense of nationalism, as they were constantly being told what to do and how to act by Europeans.
European colonial boundaries disrupted existing ethnic ties in Africa, leading to groups being forced together or split apart, which weakened national identities. The imposition of external control and lack of cooperation between newly formed nations further hindered the growth of African nationalism. This legacy of artificial borders and ethnic discord presented significant challenges for political organization after independence.
