Africa's colonial legacy created lot of problems because of the manner in which the borders of the countries were set.

Explanation:

Africa was a continent that was in full colonized by the imperial powers of Europe. During this period, the borders were set according to the interests of the imperial powers, and that has continued when the African countries gained independence. Once the African countries gained independence during the 20th century, they had their borders set by their former colonizers, and this resulted in chaos in the years and decades to follow.

The newly formed countries had borders that were again set in accordance to the powers of Europe and their interests, or in the manner they thought would be the best. This led to the formation of countries were two or more ethnic or religious groups were put in the same borders. While this doesn't seem to be much of an issue in the West, in Africa it led to lot of conflicts because it was ethnic and religious groups that openly hated each other and attacked each other. Numerous wars, civil wars, genocides, and splits of countries occurred, and lot of countries have huge internal problems even nowadays.

Some of Europe's countries that were involved in the colonization of Africa were:

  • Great Britain
  • France
  • Portugal
  • Germany
  • Belgium
