Europe went into Africa and Forced everything on Africa

[jales]

europe is the reason africa is poor.
plain and simple; europe!

and it hurts me to the core than no european i have ever met will admit this...so if you are european and you can admit that please let me know.

just like originata said ..if you are sick and have the cold, the reason you are sick is not because you cough or feel weak. the reason you are sick is because you caught a virus which was stronger than you.

europe went into africa and forced everything on africa. EVERYTHING. boarders, language, money, they stole their land, resources and even their lives..no one has done this to any of the rich nations today. they took over 10 million (possibly over 13 million based on certain sources) of their people, turned them into slaves and shipped them away. some of these people were skilled and could have contributed to africa. some of these people were mother, fathers, daughters.

they caused Africans to return to tribes more so than they were at that point in time. and they made tribes fear each other, and fight each other. Africans were lied to, manipulated and used.

that is why they are poor, that is why they dont have education and unity and good, honest leaders.

the same reason there are hardly any native american genes left in the caribbean, and north america is the same reason africa is poor.

That is very true. Europeans divided Africa amongst themselves. They partitioned Africa and drew borders separating them. There are so many wars in Africa today due to border conflicts and Europeans drew all these borders being the devils in this case. Europeans also introduced the language border. Instead of native African languages, Europeans made their languages (european languages) as the official languages for Africa and not every African can speak those foreign languages which means that those who cannot speak the European languages have no say at all in matters concerning them. This is very sad.
