  2. How did colonization begin in Africa south of the Sahara? • With colonialism, which began in South Africa in 1652, came the Slavery and Forced Labor Model.  This was the original model of colonialism brought by the Dutch in 1652, and subsequently exported from the Western Cape to the Afrikaner Republics of the Orange Free State and the Zuid-AfrikaanscheRepubliek. Many South Africans are the descendents of slaves brought to the Cape Colony from 1653 until 1822.

  7. What conflicts existed as a result? • During the scramble for Africa, European powers met at the Berlin Conference to discuss how to divide Africa. They did not take into consideration the different ethnic groups that were at war with each other in Africa. This lead too many ethnic groups that had once lived far from each other to and been at war to suddenly live near one another. Once the European nations left Africa, these different ethnic groups broke out into civil war.

  8. What conflicts existed as a result? • European colonization of Africa also lead to apartheid. The Europeans that settled in Africa believed that they were better than the existing population. This caused many places to become segregated and ended causing the Africans to rebel against their European rulers. "Conflicts in Africa-Introduction." - Global Issues.
