Thanks for this. I often wondered why there weren't many Europeans risking their lives to enter Africa, and not the other way round..
Thank you for mentioning Medri Bahri Kingdom 💯💯
just an example how poorly researched this channel's content is: 21:00 You want to talk about the Polish-Latvian attempt at colonies in Africa. You present them using Indonesian flag! You pronounce Poland as "Kholand" and state the Commonwealth was located in "modern day Latvia" which is very ignorant to say for a channel that uses maps for narrative.
Bantu still running countries to this day. Just look at South Africa
This is amazing! Thank you so much!!! D
How did they know what Africa as a whole looks like? I mean the Map of Africa. How were they able to figure out the shape as there were no drones that could capture the continent?
I’m in the U.S and as a young African American man who has talked to and met quite a few African people I can see how much we devalue their culture and their history. In my opinion learning and meeting more African people I have a far more respect about their history and technically my history. I just don’t see how as an African American you can take to much pride in what has happened in America. There are a lot of places in America where it’s nothing but White people or non black people. Black people make up 13 percent of the population in America. That shows you just how much this place really isn’t for us from a culturally standpoint. Us as African Americans don’t know the African history/roots and even are ignorant and devalue you it to an extent. So imagine how the average white person sees it. They really don’t care. I have learned to take more pride and appreciation in Africa and I plan on going there and learning the cultures and even possibly live there one day.
Think vocabulary and academia are a measure of intellect? Have a twenty minute conversation with AI,,,,,AI has been given all of humanities obstacles and challenges,,,, a dominant linear perspective,, biases in information delivery and agenda driven data analysis,,,,,,, ,we are no way near AGI,,,,,,AI is merely a calculator using words rather than numbers……!

16:52–17:01 Age of Discovery version of prohibition era wine stash, might as well buy as much before it becomes illegal 😅
I like videos like these because they showcase my favourite part about historical perspectives: how events are so tightly interwoven with their spatial and temporal context that any newcomers (like the colonizers) were totally out of their depth when it came to making sense of the political maneuverings going on around them.
When Caeser campaigned in Gaul he was always losing and gaining allies out of nowhere as his legions moved around the region. He writes in his histories like he’s in control of the situation but then you step back and realize he gets ambushed way too often to be by chance and he gets saved at the most unlikeliest of times (like during the vercingetorix battles) for him to be less of a mastermind and more of a chaotic element being vyed for by different sides
Stolen by white thieves
Amazing video thank you! I would love a video on West Africa specifically, I am half Ivorian (Côte D'ivoire) and there is really little information on its history before colonialism. I know from my tribe Akan we migrated from Ghana in the 1800s to settle into Côte D'ivoire and there are other 60 ethnic groups living there today. It would be great to watch a video on the specifics on West Africa and how the individual countries interacted with each other etc.. Thanks again for the videos!!
I always prefer cartoon illustrations and background music when it's time for a History lesson…
This is great, and before 1492, but what about Africa before 1490? What is that story Africa from 1000 to 1490.
Very great and descriptive video of pre-colonial africa. People are so bigoted and hateful that they forget Africans are human too therefore they also had history
RUBBISH!!
Glad to see everyone is educated now.
It’s very confusing how you will use “18th century” and then show a graphic that says “1800s”. I don’t know which you mean.
The Polish flag is upside down. The flag that is shown is actually Indonesian
How does this map not have lake Victoria on it? It’s literally about Africa, lmao.
4:48 How is this related to mormanism? I fail to see the connection between her claims of Jesus being born in the congo and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints religion? And we don't call ourselves "Mormon's". That was a term mobs labelled us with in the 1800's 😂
But, plus, and, plus, as, but, plus!
All wishful thinking north Africa has been Arab for thousands of years and there history is not the buntu and when the Europeans came to Africa the people lived in mud huts and sticks with grass skirts and skin
How could you speak about Africain kingdoms without speaking about CARTHAGE , the Tunisian Kingkdom that beat Rome 3000 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!! yall need some informations
It's wild how chaotic the entirety of Africa seemed to be at this time.
rah this documentary is hard
I really saddens me that Africa's history is always overlooked, and each it brought up in education or main stream media it's either racist eurocentrist or afro centrist with an agenda, which ignorant or actual racist plenty of opportunities to minimize african history, as you will be able to witness bellow 😔. But hopefully videos like this helps educate people on a more nuanced and accurate account of African history
Peace on earth and good will to All asiatic we sold out each other and we was warring with each other so now . Doing the work of Satan . Look at us now . Nothing new under the sun . 🤔 Still selling out earth 🌍 turn to fire 🔥 who will live
Why are people shitting their diapers finding out that africans had history before european arrival
The fact that you havent found out that PRESTOfR JOHN was real discards ALL of your Credibility. 🥴😩
That’s not African history, the Bible tells African history. Don’t you believe in God.
Its so impersonal how these historians tell the history. That tells me they really don’t have any useful information or they don’t understand it or they’re missing a lot of facts. Its just boring dates and reactions to events
The original settlers of Madagascar DID come from Africa, the asians came later. Stop spreading lies
yarubid dynasty*
Let's just say they scrambled themselves
Long story short, Afircans never had any meaningful civilizations but were mostly gangs of violent warring tribes who sold each other as slaves for the slave trade.
There's absolutely nothing i see with Africans in my life that make me believe any of this.
Islam abolished slavery
Graphics not up to scratch either
Lol the entire comment section pretending to ignore the fact that the Europeans and especially the Spanish and Portuguese learnt everything worth knowing about the brutal genocidal invasion subjugation enslavement oppression murder robbery rape and tyrannical colonialism game by eight centuries plus first hand comprehensive lessons from Africans before they were eventually strong enough to forcibly evict them from their continent and then burn the slave raiding predatory pirate oppressors in their own nests eh?🙄..maybe we should make a graph showing the f around to find out ratio involved in that eh 👍 what a cocoincidence that the worst and most pitiless European colonies were the Spanish and Portuguese 😉😵
This video about the history of the entire africa is a masterpiece
I love this videos
1:34 very very interesting
Morocco making us proud 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
23:00
Indeed, very prosperous slave traders kings along the coasts selling those of their war prisoners that were not to be sacrified to the local gods to eastern arab traders or western european traders. Good business indeed.
African history is either told from either a Eurocentric view or a Afrocentric view, props to you for being the most objective guy on YouTube on this matter. 🗿
Nothing about the Đorđe Martinović incident hmmmm
I wouldn't really consider Ottoman Empire as an colonizer in Africa. They held the title of Caliph and all the Muslims in Northern Africa had the same legal rights as all the other Muslims within the empire. Most of the time especially Egypt was ruled by local Mamluk elite that was present before Ottomans came. Tunisia and Algeria were more like vassals rather than official subjects so their relations were more like Ottomans offering protection with their army and Barbary coast nations paying tribute in return. granted Ottomans were still an Empire so obviously Ruling Turkish and Devshirme elite in Constantinople were higher in status and didn't really see themselves equals with them, they couldn't enslave or mistreat any Muslims in many way westerners did in Africa. Such things were forbidden by Islamic laws.
