What were some of the internal factors that contributed to imperialism in africa

Some factors within Africa itself made the continent easier for Europeans to colonize.

1. Multi lingual populations- Africa  always had a huge variety of languages and with each dialect, the people had a different culture from the others. This diverse array of languages and cultures  discouraged unity among the Africans.

2. Tribal wars - wars fought between ethnic groups over land, cattle and trade rights also prevented a unified stand.

Europeans soon learned to play rival groups against each other.

the second significant cause of the great migration was the desire of black southerners to escape segregation, known euphemistically as jim crow. rural african american southerners believed that segregation - and racism and prejudice against blacks - was significantly less intense in the north.
