,Examine the impact of colonialism on Congo and Tanzania, as well as the impact
of liberation from colonial rule.
Colonialism greatly affected Congo and Tanzania. In this essay, am going to discuss the
impact of colonialism on Congo and Tanzania, as well as the impact of liberation from
colonial rule. Firstly am going to look at the impact of colonialism on Congo and Tanzania
and secondly am going to look at the impact of liberation from colonial rule. The negative
impacts of colonization include environmental degradation, the spread of disease,
economic instability, ethnic rivalries, and human rights violations . The colonizers get the
ivory and other precious stones for themselves and become rich. They drain of wealth
from the colonized country , control over production and trade and exploite natural
resources. Colonisation broght about human rights violations. It is estimated that about
10 million Congolese were died or affected due to hunger, disease and starvation. They
exploited resources , the territory of Congo was rich in ivory and other minerals, including
diamonds. Liberation brought about independence. The emergence of organised
popular liberation movements throughout Africa following the end of the Second World
War was a crucial factor in achieving independence for many African countries. Tanzania
played an important role in assisting these movements and acted as a consistent
opponent of colonial rule in Africa.
Colonialism's impacts include environmental degradation, the spread of disease,
economic instability, ethnic rivalries, and human rights violations . The sole purpose of
the colonizers was to get the ivory and other precious stones for themselves and become
rich. Other negative impacts include to drain of wealth from the colonized country , control
over production and trade and exploitation of natural resources. It is estimated that about
10 million Congolese were died or affected due to hunger, disease and starvation. The
territory of Congo was rich in ivory and other minerals, including diamonds.
, Colonialist exploit natural resources in Congo. They explored and transported the natural
resources through the colonized Congolese who were made slaves and controlled with
brutal force. The irony of fact is that to the outer world he gave an impression that the
rule and control was quite beneficial for the people of Congo. The Congolese slaves were
compelled for the construction of the railways track and roads. They exploit natural
resources. The African Congo was the site for the exploration of ivory, minerals, rubber,
coffee, Cotton and tea. Bradley links the history of Congo with its economic importance
and states that the area was rich in natural resources like ivory, minerals and diamonds.
Colonisation broght about human rights violations. It is estimated that about 10 million
Congolese were died or affected due to hunger, disease and starvation. It is estimated
that about 10 million Congolese were died or affected due to hunger, disease and
starvation. The territory of Congo was rich in ivory and other minerals, including
diamonds.
They control over production and trade , colonizers established the stations for business
transactions, on the river. The Congo River benefits their economy. The ivory was
transported through the Congo River. However, Conrad has ignored the African cultural
heritage (art, painting and language). His main focus is on the issues of colonialism.
They drain of wealth from the colonized country . In European countries, industrialism
brought wealth and prosperity. However, raw materials were needed for the factories and
mills. Brun links colonialism with industrialism and states that the Industrial Revolution
increased the wealth of the European nations. They were in search of raw materials for
their factories and new markets for their products. Between the colonizer and colonized,
a specific line is drawn, demarcating their culture, history, art, language, social
conventions, political achievements, attitudes, and psychological behaviour. The
colonizers targeted these fields through the colonial discourse and don’t care for any
human rights or human norms.
Colonialism is a particular historical manifestation of imperialism, specific to certain places
and times. It infers that some nations remained in the clutches of others at various times
