Answer 1

The correct answer is C) Crudely-devised boundary lines have led to internal conflicts in countries.

Present-day societies have been affected by European imperialism in that "Crudely-devised boundary lines have led to internal conflicts in countries."

This is true in that European imperialistic ideas caused too much damage in the division of original territories due to political and economic interests during the African Scramble at the end of the 1800s, beginning of the 1900s.

During the so-called Scramble for Africa, European superpowers such as Great Britain, France, Portugal, and Germany, divided and modified the African territories in order to start the colonization. But what really wanted was to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources of the African territories.
