1) Answer: C. Africa
Why: During the late 19th and early 20th centuries European powers aggressively colonized Africa in the “Scramble for Africa.” Africa offered raw materials, new markets and strategic locations, and advances in transportation, medicine and weapons made conquest easier. The Berlin Conference (1884–85) formalized the partitioning of the continent among European states.
2) Answer: C. They ignored African ethnic and cultural groups
Why: Colonial borders were drawn by European powers for administrative convenience and to divide territory among themselves, with little regard for existing ethnic, linguistic, or political boundaries. As a result many modern African states contain multiple, unrelated groups or split single groups across countries, so those borders are often called “artificial.”
3) Answer: C. Imperialism
Why: Anticolonial movements in Kenya and Nigeria grew primarily as reactions against imperial rule—political control, economic exploitation, land seizure, racial discrimination and lack of self-government. (Pan‑African ideas and postwar global changes helped inspire and organize activists, but the direct cause driving independence movements was opposition to imperialism.)
