how did european colonization have a lasting impact on africa?
○ it prevented battles between traditional african civilizations.
○ it led to the rise of egyptian culture.
○ it created many of the political borders.
○ it instigated wars between african and indian civilizations.

Explanation:

European colonizers arbitrarily drew political borders across Africa without regard for existing ethnic, cultural, or linguistic groups, creating borders that remain in place today and have had long-term political and social impacts. The other options are incorrect: colonization often increased conflict between African groups, Egyptian culture rose long before European colonization, and there was no widespread war between African and Indian civilizations due to European colonization.

Answer:

It created many of the political borders.
