Consequent to the political and economic rivalries among the European empires in the last quarter of the 19th century, the partitioning of Africa was how the Europeans avoided warring amongst themselves over Africa. The later years of the 19th century saw the transition from "informal imperialism", by military influence and economic dominance, to the direct rule of a people, which brought about colonial imperialism. The social and economic effects of European Imperialism in Africa are, economy, military, and social class. Africa was a new market for manufactured goods that could be sold for high prices, and was also a source of raw materials that could be manufactured. Although, in the grand scheme of the African economy, it grew to a more global position, the social or individual part, suffered greatly.
The Columbian Exchange was the widespread exchange of animals, plants, culture, human populations, communicable diseases, technology and ideas between the American and Afro-Eurasian hemispheres following the voyage to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492, colonization and trade by Europeans in the Americas, and institution of the slave trade in Africa and the Americas. [1]:163 The term was coined in 1972 by Alfred W. Crosby, a historian at the Eastern Maine Community College, in his eponymous work of environmental history. [2][3]:27 The contact between the two areas circulated a wide variety of new crops and livestock, which supported increases in population in both hemispheres. Explorers returned to Europe with maize, potatoes, and tomatoes, which became very important crops in Europe by the 18th century. Similarly, Europeans introduced manioc and peanut to tropical Asia and West Africa, where they flourished and supported growth in populations on soils that otherwise would not produce large yields.

An Analysis of the “Eve Hypothesis” Joshua Taylor Smith Waycross College ANTH 1102 July 22, 2012 Dr. Robert Lightfoot An Analysis of the “Eve Hypothesis” The “Eve” hypothesis, also called the out-of-Africa replacement hypothesis or “mitochondrial Eve” hypothesis (Templeton 2007), has its roots in a paper by Cann et al. in 1987 that suggests a common human ancestry by tracing the origins of mitochondrial DNA variants from 147 females to a common group localized in ancient Africa (Gitschier 2010). The theory posits that, by analyzing the resultant genetic diversity between geological groups using mtDNA, human lineage can be traced to its common ancestor, “Eve,” approximately 100,000 to 150,000 years ago. Since this theory’s proliferation, innumerable discussions have been published either supporting or refuting the validity of such a hypothesis, most commonly by contrasting the theory with the opposing multiregional hypothesis (Templeton 2007). Proposed Disagreements with the Eve Hypothesis According to Templeton (2007), one of the most flagrant problems with the out-of-Africa replacement hypothesis as presented by Cann et al.
The article “Hemp-could save America” (2011) notes that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp on their plantations. During the colonial era and early beginnings of our republic American farmers were legally required to grow the hemp plant. The article “Hemp-could save America” (2011) also found that in 1939 during World War 2 the federal government subsidized a program to grow hemp and American farmers grew a

The causes of colonialism in Africa within the 19th century Back in early African history, European countries colonized and infiltrated African civilizations. By doing this, European colonists abolished the traditional African lifestyle. African’s were willing to let the colonists join them, but the Europeans went too far when they took over governments and tried to rule over the Africans. This colonization led to many problems that still affect the modern day Africa. One might think ‘how could anyone be so harsh as to take away the culture, lifestyle and religion of these people?’ To answer this we must look at the causes of this event.
