How did European colonialism impact Sub-Saharan Africa? Describe the process of colonization for Sub-Saharan Africa. How did this process and the process of de-colonization (the colonies becoming independent nations) impact Sub-Saharan Africa and what are the outcomes? Then, choose one country within Sub-Saharan Africa (Chapter 7), to provide a more in-depth look at how colonization impacted that country. What European power colonized it? How did independence come about? What are the lasting impacts on this place?
Use textbook that I will give you as your primary source and also find 2-3 web sources as supplemental sources to add info the text might not have had. Aim for trustworthy websites like government or United Nations sources, or research and policy based websites, as well as reliable news websites. Make sure you cite any information you use from the website in the text of your paper within the sentence where you used it. Do this by putting it in parentheses at the end of the sentence like so (Thompson 2020). Ideally, use the author’s last name and the year it was published as your reference. The best sources will have a clearly identified author or authors and a date published. At the end make a titled Works Cited list your sources alphabetically by author’s last name, first name, then list the article or report’s title and paste a web link to the original source. Hint: if you haven’t actually cited the work using parentheses at the end of the sentence you used it in you cannot add it to your Works Cited page–that’s a sign you need to add the citation to the body of your essay wherever you used it. You should also use proper citation practices whenever you are using info from the text book–this means if you use the words directly from the text you need to put quotation marks around it and then cite it, you can just cite the book like this (World Regional Geography 2011). Direct quotes should NOT make up the majority of the paper, as always aim to write in your own words
