  • Africa has the most resources of all the continents yet is the poorest of all and that is thanks to Imperialim. Now, do I really have to itemize that for you or do you get the picture?
  • The worst thing that happened during imperialism was slave trade .Lisbon the capital of Portugal became the centre of the slave trade and people were treated really really brutally. Natural resources especially the diamond mines of Kimberley were the major targets where people were made to work like brutes and the returns went to the imperial powers. . Paper partition of Africa.If you have a close look the maps of Algeria,Libya,Egypt,Angola and some other,you'd notice that they were partitioned on paper with straight borders.The twisted minds in power that time didn't even know that geographical constraints are determined by mountains and rivers and not by straight line across a piece of paper. . To be honest,imperialism did more damage than good.There were stories of pain and suffering every where amd some countries other than African nations that are poor now,are due to the imperial plunder of wealth they had.That how the nations became rich and powerful.It's by thoughout exploitation of other nations.
