The effects of European colonization on East Africa versus Central and South Africa were such that:
Southern and Central Africa:
- Slavery was done on a larger scale.
- South and Central Africans were treated harshly.
- Europeans exploited resources
East Africa:
- Trade gave them access to new food crops, textiles and metal
- Slave trade was reduced compared to other parts of Africa.
<h3>How did colonization differ in East Africa versus Central and South Africa?</h3>
Colonization in Eastern Africa was not as bad as in the Central and Southern parts as colonization brought trade which brought new crops and metal products. The slave trade was also not as much as other parts of Africa.
Central and Southern Africa on the other hand, faced a lot of slavery from the Portuguese in Angola and the Belgians in the Congo. This led to the impoverishment of Africans while their wealth was exploited heavily and in places like South Africa, this continued well into the 20th century.
