Explanation:

The European colonial powers divided the Black Continent along their colonies´areas and spheres of influence. Then and even now, drawn borders did not take into account cultural and ethnic factors; colonialists separated peoples and cultures without thinking about them and the consequences. Today´s African borders are above all a colonial heritage and the cause of many conflicts and disputes.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
