Imperialism Helped the World:
- It reduced local warfare
- With European military control the amount of raids between tribes was greatly reduced
- Improved sanitation and brought hospitals and schools
- Resulted in economic growth
- Colonies gained railroads, dams, and telephone and telegraph lines
- Traditional cultures were replaced or destroyed
- Europeans introduced a policy of assimilation in which Africans were expected to give up their culture, and become absorbed within the European culture
- Africans lost control of their land and their independence
- Division of the African continent
- the artificial boundaries that combined or divided groups created problems among the African people
