if africa was never colonized
Africa's natural resources would not have been depleted. Europeans colonized Africa in search for natural resources that could be brought back to Europe thereby depleting the amount of available resources in Africa.
If Europeans had not become involved traditions of Africa could have endured and continued to be practiced. Had Europeans not become involved in Africa and not aimed to assimilate the natives of Africa Christianity, the widespread religion of Europe, would not have been adopted or forced upon Africans.
