Part 1: Short Answer Based on the reading and the 1914 Map
1. The Impact of Borders
Europeans drew African borders arbitrarily during colonization, ignoring ethnic, tribal, and cultural divisions. After independence, these borders forced diverse groups (with historical rivalries or different identities) into single nations. This led to power struggles, ethnic conflicts, and instability as groups fought for control or autonomy within the imposed boundaries.
In 1914, among African states, Ethiopia (Abyssinia) and Liberia remained independent. Ethiopia successfully resisted European colonization efforts, and Liberia was established by the American Colonization Society and maintained its independence.
In a democracy, citizens typically have the right to participate in governance (e.g., vote, run for office), freedom of speech, and due process. In an authoritarian system, the government has more control; citizens often have limited political participation, restricted civil liberties, and the state may suppress dissent. For example, in a democracy, citizens can freely criticize the government, while in an authoritarian system, such criticism may be punished.
