Modern colonial plunder has greatly weakened Africa.

1, Europe's predatory exploitation of Africa has aggravated the deterioration of the local natural environment and the loss of resources.

2. The slave trade is a huge loss of African population, and the shortage of labor slows down the socialization process in Africa.

3. European colonization brought various diseases to Africa and threatened the survival of African aborigines.

It is difficult for Africa to develop in the direction of unity and freedom, because European colonists are forced to participate in conflicts and disputes among African tribes.

To sum up, due to the intervention of western colonists, the original civilization process in Africa was forced to slow down or even interrupt, which made the natural environment worse. Most countries in Africa, especially the desert areas in North Africa, are in a primitive state and their living conditions are worrying.
