Why?
- Europeans took their ways to make money (crops, natural resources, minerals, etc.)
- Europeans left and did not set up governments causing wars and chaos
- Many European companies remained in Africa the money from natural resources is still going to Europe
- International organizations like the IMF provide African nations with enormous loans that they cannot repay so they have to use a huge portion of their GDP to pay off debts.
