What were the major European powers' policies towards African traditional customs and practices during the Scramble for Africa?

During the Scramble for Africa, the major European powers generally disregarded and undermined African traditional customs and practices. They viewed African societies as inferior and sought to impose their own cultural, political, and economic systems on the continent. European powers often suppressed indigenous customs, languages, and religions, and imposed their own legal systems and governance structures. They also exploited African resources and labor for their own economic gain, leading to the disruption and destruction of traditional African societies.
