  1. the most hypocrite and unfair thing ever in history was having Belgium and Germany involved in Africa, when both never made any effort to even sail over there.

  2. this stupid video make us think the portugueses only exchange luxury goods for slaves? ahhaa thats the most stupid thing i ever heard, the portuguese were trading with Africa and slaves were part of the negotiations not exclusive, there was other goods too, by the way some locals wanted the portuguese to settle a fort so they could be under portuguese protection against rivals, which turned to be trading posts or Feitorias.

  3. The beginning of the colonization in africa it can be traced back in the berlin conference when european authorities sent a meeting in berlin to split african continent and replaced them into bunch of european empire's that wasn't significant role key for among them to established a new colonies their and expanding it's own territories became greater good they discover new minerals and resource it's use for trading the process on whole continent completely is fall under european pre-colonail state Ethiopia and Liberia still remain free without rule essentially the indigenous population is already been living there in continent for centuries is completely affected by such terms of european diseases they have brought in continent killing thousands of natives who those where affected by diseases

  4. at 0:50 you say the sahara is the largest desert in the world, although an extreme nitpick, desert means almost no precipitation (rain, hail, snow), therefore antarctica is the largest desert since it has next to no precipitation at all.

  5. BRITISH SOMALILAND PROTECTORATE LOCATED IN HORN OF AFRICA. NOW REBUPLIC OF SOMALILAND GAINED INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITAIN JUNE 26,1960 CAPITAL HARGEISA.
