What were the negatives of African colonization ?

Europeans did not bring "infrastructre, basic industry, advanced legislation etc" to Africa. They travelled to Africa to manipulate and utilize Africans as slaves. They had no good intentions for the African population. Imperialism and greed is what brought them there. Of course seeing as the Africans now had to adapt to the way the world was developing, the various countries were pretty much "forced" to industrialize their countries. And crop techniques were first used in the ancient civilizations Mesopotamia (Iraq) and in the Maya/Inca/Aztec regions (Mexico). These techniques were not developed by Europeans.

Two words: Belgian Congo.

On top of the million other problems with what you've said, Africans knew how to build boats millennia before Europeans. Did you not study Ancient Egypt in school?

Lmao.

Thats like saying Egyptians had advanced medicine because they were one of the earliest societies to use it well. The later European ships were far superior to anything Egypt built.

>Egypt
>Africans

you should go back to school

Boats have been found from 6000 BC in Nigeria.

Go to your nearest Atlas. Open up a map of Africa. You will find that Egypt is in it.

OP said they "didn't have the technical capacity to build boats" which is just wrong. No, the Ancient Egyptians did not build massive European vessels but that's probably because they lived thousands of years before them... That's like saying Medieval peasants were idiots for not inventing the computer.

You do realize Arabs used Africans as slaves for far longer time , but at least Europeans also gave benefits ..

What utter BS you have just spouted. If anything, the Arabs are the ones who gave them the benefits.

lol, as westerners, there is a tendency to look at things in other places as so uncivilized. If a mudhut is their way of life, why are we better than them? Colonialism and Slavery done nothing for Africa, it destroyed families, it destroyed their traditional ways of life and so on. Colonialism however did benefit Europe and America (Slavery) massively, I mean slaves practically built their whole damn country but never would we accept that.
Also, Christianity is not a good thing. The Europeans FORCED religion onto the African's because they felt that we were so inferior that they needed to save us. I mean, they clearly done it out of the kindness of their own hearts.
And build boats? There's evidence that shows Africa had been trading with Europe from a while back. All because history in British schools is so whitewashed, don't mean it didn't happen. People love bringing it back to that "oh but Arab's own slaves too". Okay, everyone owned damn slaves. But just admit it, accept your privilege and try to work with it.

Rant over, I guess you can see my views on colonialism and the negative influences upon the motherland.

**edward said - orientalism

Name one . Oh right, you can't.
