¶ … British and French Handled the Decolonization of Their African Possessions
The colonial era has been a glorious period for many of the nations in the world, as several nations have spread their culture across the planet. However, numerous nations have also been oppressed and dehumanized in the process of colonization. Some of the respective nations still feel the aftermath that the colonists have left upon them. One of the territories preferred by colonists has been the African continent, with numerous European colonies having been set on African land.
Subsequent to the period in which colonialism thrived, both the British and the French observed that it had almost been impossible for them to continue to hold the African colonies. In spite of the fact that it had been profitable to have a colony, it had been very difficult, as the people from the colonized territories had begun to express their need for autonomy. As a result, both countries granted independence to most of their African colonies.
While the decolonization process had gone on smooth with the British colonies, there had been several incidents when taking into attention the colonies formerly owned by the French. Rhodesia and parts of the French Maghreb have been ravaged by terrorism and guerilla warfare.
One of the main aftermaths suffered by the African countries which have been colonized is poverty. Most colonial powers have exploited their colonies to the maximum, enslaving locals and stealing their resources.
Another repercussion that a great numbers of Africans have sustained after the colonial period is the fact that their countries are being devastated by the continuous wars fueled by money coming from the sale of diamonds. The 1994 massacre from Rwanda is believed to have had its roots in the colonial period, when groups of people had been discriminated.
