Question 23 • World History

Which of these were effects of European rule in Africa? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
African colonies were created along arbitrary lines.
B
African colonies imported raw materials from Europe.
C
European languages became official languages.
D
Some educational systems were established.
E
Islam spread across the continent.

Explanation

European powers often drew colonial borders without regard for existing ethnic and political boundaries, so colonies were created along arbitrary lines. Colonial governments also made European languages official and established some schools and educational systems. Choice B reverses the usual trade pattern: African colonies exported raw materials to Europe, rather than importing them from Europe.
