Answer:

The correct answer is Option A "The Europeans ignored existing borders, cultural differences, and historical conflicts when they created new boundaries."

Explanation:

The Berlin Conference was held on November 15, 1884, and it was a meeting between European powers and the United States to divide up Africa. Before the conference, only ten percent of Africa was colonized by Europeans. However, in the aftermath, more than ninety percent of Africa was colonized by Europeans.

African representatives were not even in attendance at the conference and to a large extent, the attendees ignored existing aspects of Africa as they were interested in minerals and resources like tin, copper, gold, and diamonds. The European powers also ignored the local food needs of Africans and planted cash crops like peanuts, and rubber. In the social sphere, the European powers largely ignored traditional African values and customs or devalued them.
