Answer 3

When African countries won their independence from European colonizers, they faced many challenges. Here are some major types of challenges they faced:



Multi-ethnic states that had no logic to their boundaries. The colonizers created colonies without regard to where one ethnic group began and another ended. This caused situations with many ethnic groups in one state or one ethnic group spread overy many states. Both led to conflict.


Economies geared toward colonial goals. The Europeans were not trying to create mature and stable economies. They just wanted the colonial economies to help the colonizing country. This meant that the newly independent countries had weak economies that were generally only geared towards extractive industry.


A lack of educated citizens to take over the running of the government and economy. The colonizers didn't really care about educating Africans because they had little need for highly educated subjects. Once independence came, not enough Africans had been educated or trained well enough to take over major positions in a modern government.
