Description

The continent Africa of course had never been a new discovery to Europe and other parts of the world (old world) Europeans traded, warred, and allied themselves with African kingdoms even before the days of the Bible or Quran but all this relationships were mostly with the Northern part of Africa and few of them, along the east Coast of Africa. This means despite knowing that the continent exists, there relationships with it has limits in terms of areas they relate with. As time goes on, the Europeans had to force there way into the continent and this had some implications.


In this course, you will learn about the reasons why Europeans decided it's time to enter the interior of Africa, how they did it, and the implications of there activities in the continent.


You'll also learn about other things like the names of Africa in it's history, explanation of the first map of Africa drawn by Munster Sebastian, learn about the works of explorers like John hanning speke, Mungo park, Henry Stanley, David Livingstone, e.t.c.


This video sheds light on some popular matters going on on the Internet where Africans complain about some wrong things in history of age of exploration e.g claims that Mungo Park discovered river Niger, the fact that Africa was referred to as the "Dark Continent". I talked about how all this started and where things became faulty.

…and yes research works and personal views are included.
