History

It's not A, as they simply aren't forced to.

It's not C, as Africa is not 'just' a colony; infact, empires and therefore colonies are no longer allowed among the UN.

D is incredibly stupid.

So, B.

The correct answer is B) It's a more common language.

Some African countries use a European language as a “trade language” because it's a more common language.

When conducting business in today's global scenario, English in the "universal" language that people use to trade. African countries use English, but also French, and even German, to conduct business. With the use of a common "trade" language, countries can better understand each other and work better deals.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

When they stopped conquering people, they stopped taking slaves. Much of the rural economy was built around slavery and there was a pretty firm bias against allowing slaves to have children- the investment in raising a slave child not to mention the loss of productivity of the mother and the possible death or both mother and child during childbirth led slave owners to prohibit much breeding.  

Allowing slaves to have children and form family bonds also made them more likely to revolt- humans often fight harder for the rights of their children for their own.  

So, without a renewable source of slaves, it became very difficult to run farms and vineyards. Without profitable and productive agriculture, there were less taxes.  With less taxes, there were less funds to do civic improvements like maintaining aqueducts and roads and support standing armies.  

Emperors decided to raise taxes on everyone to make up the difference which led to the ruin of many private citizens and the marked increase in wealth of the nobility who were often exempt from many taxes (which they voted for, themselves, as senators) leaving them with the funds to buy up neighboring properties and essentially, their neighbors to work the land.  Feudalism grew out of a switch from a civic or community focus to a self or family focus.  

The Eastern Roman Empire maintained a strong base of taxation and a standing army for a thousand years after the fall of the West, but their economy wasn't nearly as dependent on slaves for labor. They survived by repeatedly reforming their style of government to suit the current needs without ever losing the power of the central government.

Why was their some hesitancy to annex
DerKrebs [107]

Answer: Following Texas' successful war of independence against Mexico in 1836, President Martin van Buren refrained from annexing Texas after the Mexicans threatened war. ... His efforts culminated on April 12 in a Treaty of Annexation, an event that caused Mexico to sever diplomatic relations with United States. Polk defeated Whig Henry Clay in a close contest turning on the controversial issues of slavery and the annexation of the Republic of Texas. President John Tyler's pursuit of Texas annexation threatened the unity of both major parties.
