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:

During European imperialism in Africa, the focus was on maximizing export - based profits. Investment was mainly in areas directly related to exports, leaving little for non - export related technology or infrastructure. African colonies had raw materials and did not import them all from Europe. While there were forced labor issues, the description of "many Africans forced to work in factories that were little more than sweatshops" is not the most overarching economic effect. Also, plantations and mines were exploited rather than prohibited.

Answer:

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