Histoire - Afrique

This work is about the European colonization of Africa during the 19th century. The author discusses the colonization of Africa, African indigenous industry before the 19th century and the changes and adaption of African indigenous industry due to colonization.

The African continent has always been the land of mystery for Europeans and in the 19th century the European kingdoms started to pay great attention to Africa. A lot of scientists, missionaries and explorers flooded Africa. What they saw extremely astonished them as the African continent was full of impressive sights. As a result, the widely known "Scramble for Africa" had begun, leading to a colossal colonization of the continent that left lasting impressions and far reaching effects on indigenous people in Africa. One of such effects and arguably the most detrimental was the scar it left on African indigenous industry.
