It was European powers that carved up Africa.

The 19th century colonial powers in Africa included Britian, France, Belgium, Holland, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Before World War II, there were hardly any independent states in Africa at all. They were all colonies.
heheh.. I know.. but the state those areas were left in was not helpful just the same.
