	History of Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Portuguese, whose power in Africa was already waning, were not in a position to interfere with the Dutch plans, and Britain was content to seize the island of Saint Helena as her half-way house to the East.
		Africa's earliest evidence of written history was in Ancient Egypt, and the Egyptian calendar is still used as the standard for dating bronze age and iron age cultures throughout the region.
		Throughout North Africa Christianity nearly disappeared, except in Egypt where the Coptic Church remained strong partly because of the influence of Ethiopia, which was not approached by the Mulsims because of Ethiopia's history of harboring early Muslim converts from retaliation by pagan Arab tribes.

	Economy of Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Africa is by far the world's poorest inhabited continent, and it is, on average, poorer than it was 25 years ago.

		Regions where the economy was plundered, such as the Raubwirtschaft policies of Leopold II in the Congo Free State, have not prospered.

	THE MORAL ECONOMY AND PROSPECTS OF ACCUMMULATION IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA: HOR THE IFIs CAN HELP
		A major drawback of the moral economy in Africa is its incomplete institutionalization or the inability of its institutions to enforce societal norms.

		Whether or not the moral or informal economy is capable of generating economic development, the fact of the matter is that it is the mainstay of the livelihoods of most households, both rural and urban.

	The Environmental History of Africa: Topic 17
		The colonial period (1875-1960) in Africa marked an important historical watershed for the continent in terms of its political structure, economic development, and social institutions.
		Alternative view would be that progressively more intense involvement of Africa with an emerging world capitalist system of trade, extraction of raw materials, disparities in military power had already eroded African economies and localized ecology control that kept problems like famine, disease, and loss of biodiversity in check.
		1875-1900 was the "Scramble for Africa" in which economic depression in the world economy, disparity in the power of European military power versus non-Europeans, and nationalism in Europe resulted in the expansion of direct political control of European countries over Africa.
