Question

what is the reaction of people to French colonialism positively and negatively explain

Answer 1

Colonialism impacted the African continent socially, politically and economically both positively and negatively. Some of the positive social, economic and political impacts included the introduction of Christianity which brought about more religious mission opportunities. Most of the missionaries introduced education in Africa by establishing mission schools to educate the local people and helped them to learn more about their land and culture. The Europeans defended the Africans against their enemies or gave them weapons to enable them defend themselves whenever they were attacked by their enemies and this made some of the Africans feel safer. The Europeans brought new technology to Africa; they were provided with tools for farming and introduced new crops like maize and manioc from the New World
