Yes and no. The problem that we still see in Africa is due to Europeans drawing borders not based on ethnicity, but based on their own preconceived power. The result, disaster to this day, esp. in the Great Lake region.

For the record, Belgium is the worst colonizing power. The silver goes to the Portuguese.
