During imperialism, Europeans went into Africa and stripped its land of its resources and this also changed the climate negatively. After stripping Africa of its resources the Europeans left, which left a political power vacuum making it easy for warlords and drug lords to take control. This is how Africa attracted issues like Rwanda and the problems in Somalia today. Africa is now stripped of natural resources which makes it difficult to create a normal lifestyle for inhabitants. Another barrier that does not allow Africa to develop into a prosperous continent is agricultural issues.
(4 points) Political problems, such as Somalia forcing out the president, have caused failed state. Failed state means that a country has no government, and nobody is in control. 4. How has the handling of diversity in Africa stopped the economy of Africa from growing? (8 points) Because the only handling of diversity in Africa, is war.
Document 4 says that not only were they unable to keep up the utilities, they didn’t have skilled administrators to govern their new independent nations. This shows, in a way, that colonialism actually benefited the Africans by giving them security and stability, and by making use of their resources which otherwise would have been undetected and undeveloped. But, it would be wrong to suggest that imperialism was very positive for Africans. Many African men were killed and overworked, as described in Document 6. This left Africa with a reduced supply of capable workers and leaders when they became independent.
China is also too passive and does not take part in global politics and issues significantly. They have not been willing to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining international order even after emerging as one of the most powerful states in the world, and are more isolationist as compared to the US. For example, during crises such as the Ebola outbreak, their monetary pledge of 38 million is far lower than the 175 million pledged by the US. It was the US who led the international efforts, be it monetary aid or humanitarian aid, to combat the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
When in fact we seen them as rogues and slaves they were used only for their harvesting. Colonial self government by Charles Mclean Andrews speaks of colonies as being not legally independent. The created self government. This would lead to the reason why there were no laws governing assistance with food or other necessities. He speaks of trade and receiving product from overseas.
Europe wanted to set up and colonize in Africa, mainly because of Africa's raw materials it was purely economic. . (Iweriebor, 2011) The African's did not take kind to this, and it provoked not only African political responses but also diplomatic responses and military resistance. A lot of treaties of protection for the leaders of African societies, states, and empires went out. There was a lot of controversy about these treaties and eventually the military had to step in.
However, many European countries viewed these lesser colonies as “primitive and backward.” Why can’t people feed themselves? As Lappé and Collins both note, people can’t feed themselves because Colonial Powers kicked the natives off their land, forced them into cash cropping, taxed the natives in the respective European currency, and finally, forbade the natives to grown their own food on their own land. The first step by the Europeans was to force the native peoples off their land so that the land itself may be used for cash crop production. John Stuart Mill suggested that colonies shouldn’t be thought of as civilizations or countries at all, but rather “agriculture establishments.” In most instances, these colonial powers
The cunning actions of the European powers in Africa led to a disdain among the Africans against the Europeans, which set off violent rebellions that eventually helped lead Africa to liberty in the future. In documents 2 and 3 show that the effort among Africans to react with nonviolence. In Document 2, Prempeh’s denial of colony status under British rule goes to great lengths not to offend Her Majesty the Queen of England and insists that the Ashanti kingdom must remain on good diplomatic terms with all “White men,” even as he totally rejects the British offer. The friendly response can be understood as to not offend the British into seizing their kingdom. Menelik II’s letter to European powers (Document 3) clearly indicates his unwillingness to go along with plans to “divide Ethiopia among the distant Powers.” The constant references to Christianity in Ethiopia are no doubt intended to support the idea among Europeans that Ethiopia should be seen more favorably than other African nations, and be free from the Scramble for Africa.
Of course, we have no king and the government is not the sovereign. Even so, using the concept in much to loose a sense, that doctrine remains and the government is treated as sovereign (Cooper, 2007). Literature Review In a summary article reviewing the contemporary practices of sovereign immunity, it was found that sovereign immunity practices on the National level are so diverse that formulating rules of universal application is a very difficult task. That
Similarly to the situation in Congo, colonial settlers in Kenya established borders that "failed to properly deal with the region's ethnic diversity [and] cultivated deep seated ethnically based mistrust and inequalities." The haphazard borders drawn by British colonialists were established with little regard to the ethnic and cultural boundaries that historically existed. This had a persistent influence on relations between ethnic groups in the region that ultimately led to the eruption of conflict following the 2007 election. Upon settlement into Kenya, the British colonialists took claim over the Rift Valley, causing the displacement of ethnic groups already residing in the area. This caused several ethnic groups to resettle in the surrounding areas that were already claimed by another ethnic group, fueling ethnic tension in the area.
