Answer: A) a great diversity of cultures
Explanation:
In the 19th century, European nations, such as England, France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany, began to effectively exploit the African and Asian continent. The Industrial Revolution motivated these countries to explore raw materials, especially ores, among which we can highlight iron, copper, lead, as well as products of agricultural origin, such as cotton and rubber; all essential for industrial production.
Within this economic context, which goes through politics, we have the basis to understand how the colonization of Africa has transformed it into what it is today, considering that several other countries have divided it by making a partition done in an arbitrary way, not respecting the ethnic characteristics and cultural backgrounds of each people, which contributes to many of the current conflicts on the African continent. Allied tribes were separated and antagonist tribes were united.
