Question

As nations in Africa gained independence from colonial powers, some made relatively smooth transitions to self-rule while others experienced violence and upheaval. In some nations, the violence continues even today. What might have been done to help those nations transition to self-rule peacefully? Write a short essay that sets forth ideas on ways that violence and civil war might have been prevented.

Answer 1

Answer: The border lines were drawn by the Europeans only on the African nations because of which the people of different cultures had to live together leading to violence.

Explanation:

The border lines of the African nations was not drawn by the nations themselves. It was drawn by the Europeans only. Because of this people of different cultures had to live together.

This led to the violence and war among the people of different cultures who were living in together in the countries. To avoid all this, the border lines should have been drawn by the people of Africa only and not be the Europeans.
