Answer 2

Answer:

B. Europeans did not understand African ethnic identities.

Explanation:

African nations were most likely formed by the Europeans. Most African nations were colonized by the Europeans .The conquest of African was a invasion , division and colonization of African by the European powers.

The European powers never understood the African ethnic Identities. They were more or less concerned about the territory they will conquer or possess. They divided African nations base on the conference they held in Berlin. They never understood the ethnic diversity within African nations.

This diversity of ethnic group in African nations has caused more division up till today. Most especially, Nigeria(colonized by Britain) that have over 300 ethnic groups with the major tribe as Ibo, Hausa and Yoruba. The diversity of the ethnic group in Nigeria caused the Biafran war and up till today it is till causing problems .
