Answer to Question 1

Prior to European colonialism, Africa's political map exhibited a complex mosaic of kingdoms, states, and other political entities. During the apex of European colonization, however, indigenous African cultural and political boundaries were largely ignored; the modern political map of Africa is thus a legacy of European territorial division and administration. Following independence in the 1950s and 1960s, most African statesat the urging of the Organization of African Unityagreed to retain Europe's imposed political divisions as a means of reducing territorial conflict. With few exceptions, such as the secession of Eritrea and South Sudan, these political divisions have remained relatively constant.
