<span>The Berlin Conference set down rules for dividing up Africa. This meant that the European colonizers established national borders that grouped certain African ethnic groups together. This meant that despite ethnic groups being historical enemies, they were now being forced to live within the same boundaries.
Ex: German & Belgian colonial governments aggravated the historically tense relations between the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups in present-day Rwanda and Burundi. The ethnic violence between these two groups resulted in a war that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people (as we saw in the movie Hotel Rwanda).</span>
The Khmer people, now native of Cambodia, were apart of a Kingdom named <span>Kambuja. Kambuja was located in the era of the Iron Age in India. </span>
What was the main reason the United States and the Soviet Union became superpowers after World War II?
-> Both had nuclear weapons that the rest of the world feared.
Trade; Before and after colonization, unlike the Europeans, you shared the land, no one truly owned it.
Hope this helps! :-)
