Imperialism Feedback

  • The buliding of railways and transport systems, which today fuel the economies
  • the introduction of new ways of life. ex: religion
  • introducing Africans to modern ideas and technology
  • new efficient farming techniques
  • discovery of minerals and natural resources
Cons:
  • treatment of the African people
  • the destroying of culture
  • introducing new diseases
  • more ethnic tribal disputes
  • these groups having to work together by force
  • none of their resources actually belonging to them
  • slavery
Personally, I believe that there were more negative net effects on Africa than positive ones.
