Question

what issues could arise from countries borders staying the same after gaining independence from imperial rule?

Answer 1

Answer:

The country's resources would be exposed to illegal bunkering

Explanation:

Imperial rule first of all,is the ruling of a weaker country by a stronger foreign nation due to a strategic natural resource found in the weaker.

Normally ,during imperial rule,the borders of the weaker are made porous such that the foreign masters can arrive and depart as they wish.

If such porous  borders are left unguarded after imperial rule,it gives for nationals of the country and even externals the opportunity to siphon the country's resources in order to sell in neighboring countries.

A typical example is Nigeria,where crude is been stolen for sale in neighboring Chad,Benin Republic and so on.
