【Borders of straight line in Africa were caused with drawing lines of the European Great Powers】

There are lots of countries in Africa.As to their borders,comparing with European or Asian ones,many of them are straight lines.😃

The European Great Powers divided Africa,so their borders were born.Division of Africa with the European Great Powers was settled on,according to the Congo treaty in 1884.☀

At first, the border between one of the European Great Powers' colonies and the other's was mainly drawn with straight line in the center of Africa.🇬�

The European Great Powers didn't think over people who lived in the places of division at all.Therefore one tribe split into two countries,or others which were feuding 反目 with each other were forced to join in the same country.

Some countries became independent of the Great Powers,but their borders remain as it were.The borders led to civil wars or disputes.😱
