Question

which of the following describes an economic effect of european imperialism in africa? african colonies were forced to import all their raw materials from europe. little money was invested in technology or infrastructure not related to exports. many africans were forced to work in factories that were little more than sweatshops. plantations and mines were prohibited under strict rules imposed by europeans.

Explanation:

European imperialism in Africa focused on extracting raw materials for European industries, so investments in the colonies were limited to infrastructure (e.g., railways, ports) and technology that supported export of these resources. Other sectors (e.g., local manufacturing, general infrastructure) received little funding.

Answer:

B. Little money was invested in technology or infrastructure not related to exports.
