Legacies of colonialism (economy legacies and political legacies

Answer 1

1. Colonialism is a form of dominance that entails the enslavement of one people by another. Imperialism, like colonialism, entails political and economic control of a dependent territory. The idea of ethnic and cultural inferiority, as well as a kind of internalized racial oppression, is referred to as colonialism.
2. Colonialism resulted in the formation of a large political unit, which was a favorable outcome. This was helpful because it aided the speedier growth of most African countries, such as Nigeria. Most African countries had fragmented governance structures prior to the arrival of colonial masters.
3. The political and economic realities of modern Africa have been influenced by colonialism. Africa's post-independence states follow the Western model. In terms of economics, colonizers aggressively exploit African resources, leaving Africa economically weak and vulnerable in its interactions with the world economy.
