Explanation:

During the Scramble for Africa (late 19th-early 20th century), European imperial powers (like Britain, France, Germany) divided Africa into colonies via agreements such as the Berlin Conference, setting borders that mostly persisted as independent African nations' boundaries later. Local rulers had no say, while the UN and African Union were established long after these borders were drawn.

D. European imperial powers
