In 1884 following German unification in the previous decade European Colonial powers along with other countries meet to decide the fate of the Africa continent that divided up the land between them leaving just Liberia and Abyssinia independent, Britain and France taking the lions share of Africa.
Politically, economically, socially and culturally Africa was changed forever, and unfortunately with example including king leopold II Congo and the Maji Maji rebellion its clear many Africans would suffer under their new colonial overloads

I would personally say Britain had the biggest impact on Africa through their consistent determination to landgrab every country in Africa due to European competition (developed from the Brussel and Berlin Conference) and the loss of America led to Britain to be fascinated by the 'Dark continent', subsequently swinging to the east to undercover new resources and develop their economic , political and cultural influences in Africa which still has a significant impact to African countries today.

I think France had the most impact by far, especially pre independence for Algeria when you consider the Pied Noir colonies

I think France had the most impact, and the most staying power when you look at how active the French military and French Legion are in West Africa, the two Franc zones, the old pied noir community etc. Britain mostly held what it thought it had to as to be perceived as the largest power on every continent. The main use was simply the Suez, Zanzibar and Cape Town, the rest were largely unprofitable, barring Uganda where the Indian community created the beginnings of a manufacturing economy, that was later completely destroyed by black nationalism.

@@oppionatedindividual8256 yes thats true, and as we know today Algeria and West Africa have rich oil and natural resources reserves which the French highly profited from, so a valid argument can be made France had the biggest cultural, economic and social, political impacts on Africa

Yes, but wouldnt you say that French did had a impact mostly in west africa,but Britain had far impact across the whole of africa e.g north-suez canal,east-Keyna-costal connections,Uganda south and west-nigeria and gold coast.Therefore,Britain had significiant impact in Africa rather than France.

@@sesen3158 I do agree thinking Britain had the biggest impact on Africa, not to mention the current British Commonwealth continues that legacy of British influence in Africa, also through language, religion and other socio economic factors
