During the whole imperialism process, industrialization and civilization in general were almost nonexistent in Africa. In general, there was injustice for the African people. Africa was controlled by European powers who never took the quality of life for African citizens into consideration. Their only thought was for personal gain, to increase their influence. Even after African territories gained independence, the governments were anything but stable, and war broke out all over the continent. Imperialism basically created injustice in Africa. The most long-lasting effect was the arbitrary political boundaries which European monarchies established, and which ignored the previous tribal system. Most of these boundaries are still here today, and have been one of the major causes for African civil wars and conflicts.
