Question

based on the map and table, which of the following statements are true? select the two that apply.
france controlled most countries in west and central africa, but england controlled several as well.
there are no present - day effects of colonialism in west and central african countries.
europeans brought european languages to west and central africa, and those languages are still used today.
every country in west and central africa was controlled by a european empire in 1950.

Explanation:

1. Historical records show France held extensive colonies in West/Central Africa, while Britain also controlled key territories like Nigeria and Ghana.
2. Colonialism left deep, ongoing impacts (economic, cultural, political) on present-day West/Central African nations, so the claim of no present-day effects is false.
3. A lasting colonial legacy is the continued use of European languages (French, English) as official or widely spoken languages in the region.
4. Liberia (founded by freed American slaves) was independent by 1950, so not every country was under European control.

Answer:

France controlled most countries in West and Central Africa, but England controlled several as well.
Europeans brought European languages to West and Central Africa, and those languages are still used today.
