      Seems pretty true for the era of 1870-1945. Germany appears to have had the biggest urge at the time to show the other powers how tough they were. They tried to catch up to other empires by going further, reacting harder to pushbacks and generally cranking the empire game to 11. It backfired quite spectacularly, in particular when it was done so amateurishly after the Bismarck era. I hope new geopolitical powers won't repeat those mistakes.

      The British displaced Kenyans from our Highlands and designated these as White Highlands, where the Europeans could own up to 20,000 Hectares of land while Africans were pushed into native reserves. Those who dissented were put in concentration camps, like my grandparents.
      They also retained control of the Kenyan economy even after independence. There is a famous book called "Not Yet Uhuru" translated to "Not Yet Independent" written a few years after independence.
      Even the post-independence leaders were handpicked, so that they could be poster-children, and their corruption and dictatorship were overlooked by mother Britain. Africa was literally designed to fail.

    As an African I really find it hard to hear that Europeans in 1884 were thinking about Africa as a nation. No body built a colony for eventual independence, it was at best a land grab. Saying Africa was built to fail shouldn't be part of 1884 but leaders over time who have failed to build a nation state or allow factions go their separate ways

    The Berlin Conference made it "okay" and justifiable for these European nations to colonize all of Africa, so inevitably everyone wanted a fair share, Signed by United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, the United States of America, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden-Norway, and Turkey (Ottoman Empire). The arbitrary drawing of borders during the Berlin Conference remains a source of political instability in Africa.

    The author forgets to mention that the reason why the large diversity of linguistic groups in present day Nigeria isn’t only about intent to destabilize its foundations, it’s a tactic that the British deployed. People forget that slavery in Nigeria, mainly the SW part, was the main landmass of the Slave Coast, that majorly contributed to the large diversity of linguistic differences and “tribes”
    Slave Coast bordered Delta in the easternmost of the Coast to Volta river in westernmost point (present day Ghana) with mostly France & Portugal having holdings in the middle

    Isn't it strange that the African countries themselves that had and still have these straight borders 50+ years later after independence, still have not rectified the ethnic/tribal divisions and still have these straight dividing lines. So maybe it is in the interest of these African countries to have straight borders. Nor those large African countries with many ethnic groups have allowed their 'allo-ethnic' parts of their territories to secede / become countries of their own right; especially not peacefully. So again it is the African countries that have been seeing a benefit in keeping these. I don't buy into the presenter's argument about these.

      The issue is the ensuing civil wars that would emerge and the migrations from the wars that would hit not just North Africa but Europe would be catastrophic. Africa's population has grown since the colonial era. And trying to redefine borders is not easy, look at the Middle East for that. People have made homes in their current locations with all that entails.

    Africans had an over 100,000-year head start on civilization and still got conquered; maybe a better question would be why is that.

    God, who is the maker of everything, is merciful. Galatians 3:28 says,'We are all one in Christ Jesus'. 1884, it wasn't before Jesus Christ. Therefore, they were supposed to have heard the Good News Matthew 20:28 says Jedus came to serve not to be served'. They have heard about it, too.
    We can consider that it is the past. That man can make mistakes. But when nowadays, in the framework of cooperation between the nations of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific and the European Union (ACP/EU).
    A framework where the continent of Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific, together have a chief negotiator and the European Union has a chief negotiator, when the chief negotiator for countries of Africa, Caribbean and the Pacific, is a representative of a 60-year-old dynastic tyranny in West Africa, it is simply a tragedy.
    Haiti is a nation of the Caribbean. What lesson of pity, self-restraint, humility, or fear of God do a decades old dynastic tyranny inculcate to Haiti?

    Rememberance around Europe and colonialism is too one-sided.
    I am happy to teach my kids about history and crimes during colonial rule. But then I wil also teach them things like the Haber-Bosch process, fertilizers and machinery, which have allowed africa's and the world's population to explode.
    If you teach history one-sided, people in africa and similar will somehow get the impression that we owe them something.
