Final Questions Part 1

What is tribalism and how does Rwanda reflect that

Who drew the borders of Africa and how can you tell - geometric borders and differing tribes in the same country - not nation-states

Europeans came in to exploit Africa economically - they had all of the inventions and machine guns and wanted to get the material and cheap labor that Africa had to offer

Europeans set up corrupt governments - governments based off of greed and corruption and ones that would set one tribe above another

Europeans also made these countries into mono economies that sold one or so raw materials. Like Latin America, many of these countries ended up having labor intensive industries like plantations or mining industries which profited a few but which could not help the workers to rise up

These types of jobs had a low multiplier effect for the countries and the areas economies. That is these jobs do not help to create other jobs. They are low wage jobs so the people do not make a lot of extra money (disposable income) and these jobs do not help to create other industries. For example, the headquarters of Boeing here in Chicago helps to create other jobs whereas a plantation does not need other jobs.

Africa was hard to explore or to wander from for a variety of reasons- rivers contained waterfalls; hard to cross terrain; lots of diseases; Sahara desert; oceans

When did much of Africa develop farming- after European invasion - lacked inventions due to isolation
