Why did Africans have to succumb to European imperialism?

They did not have as sophisticated weapons.

They did not have as sophisticated industrial developments.

both a and b

none of the above

The correct answer should be both a and b

While the imperialists had guns and weaponry like that, many African people still fought with spears, which often made it easy to conquer them. Of course, there were exceptions, especially when it comes to Britain, where they just couldn't defeat the locals. Their industry didn't exist and was undeveloped.
