Yggdrasil yes, into the most depraved hands and form of slavery these ever existed. It was beyond their imaginings. The slavery as practiced by Africans was not chattel slavery. European slavery was crass, vile, and violent on a level never seen before in the history of the world. Africans has no context for that level of brutality and we’re unaware of how sadistic their trade partners were by nature. Their version of slavery was different. It operated much like the European feudal system, but without all of the incest and sharing of their wives with the men of higher status, which was common practice with Europeans.

That's a technical name, the Free State of Congo wasn't even part of the Belgian empire, it was the personal territory of the Belgian king. He sent his private army to rule it and exploit it. Some American journalists decided to explore it and discovered the barbarity, as a result the Belgian Parliament eventually forcefully took the territory into official rule by the Belgian government, ending the free state. Sadly the Belgian King died peacefully instead having to be held accountable for his crimes.

[@Nico-oj5oj]

AnOriginalName How would he ever be held accountable... In his defence they gave him that territory so everyone (rich investors) could exploit it (instead of a onestate colony). Free state could not tax so it was very unprofitable for Leo II hence all the economic coercion.

[@Joridiy]

Actually even if the Spanish Sahara is legally Spanish, Morocco is the one occupying it, not Spain. So Spain doesn't have any countries occupied there... unless you count the Canary Islands as... ¿an occupied country?

[@healthshapenbody]

[@Joridiy]

Equatorial Guinea never existed before Spaniards, maybe the tribal Bubi kingdom but nothing more. Portugal first unifed the insular tribes and kingdoms and then Spain unified the continental and insular territories when it created the autonomous community of Equatorial Guinea

[@damanredarnishu5509]

Nerded Out it was a war, invasion and u r right their goal was colonize Eth but Mission failed. Sorry

[@gabbon7723]

Nope. A first war against Ethiopian happened in the middle of 1890s, when Crispi was President. The campaign was a total defeat. For this reason, under Mussolini, a military campaign was organized, just for prestige and national pride (revange for the previous defeat). Ethiopia officially gave up 5 May 1936 with the occupation of Addis Abeba. Internal conflicts with "Arbegnuoc" is a different issue How do you study history?

Africa will be a united superpower in 50 years, mark my words.

[@JKTProductionzIncNCo]

Highly unlikely considering the closest any native 'African' empire has gotten to controlling the entire continent are 3 major groups. In East 'Africa', twice; Aksum & the Ethiopia. In West 'Africa' thrice. Almohad (Algeria/Morocco),Songhai, & Mali. In the north by Egypt three times. Fatimid, Ayyubid, & Mamluk. In the east they never went past 1.3 million km^2. The west at most they reached was about 2.3 million km^2(1.4 for Songhai & 1.1 for Mali). The north between 2 and 4.1 million km^2. Other than these no other native 'African' kingdom and or Empire has went past the one million km^2 mark. The other closest one was the Kongo Empire about 780K km^2 if I remember correctly. Making it possibly the 9th largest native empire. So what most likely is going to happen in the next 5 decades to 1 century is that 'Africa' will steadily normalize back to its historical size of its nations. Making it likely that Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, Mali, & Ethiopia will change the least in territorial size. While the others will split into several different countries.

[@SirChocolateHobo]

so looks like many countries had one major period of exploring Africa, then left. Curious how some of these areas go from "colonized" then back to Africa so quickly. Genuinely curious.

[@raminkhajavi9513]

They didn't just explore Africa, but exploit. The richer countries in Europe didn't just get wealthier automatically! Many national liberation struggles occurred in the 1960's, but now dealing with their own power trippers and harsh dictators that sanction torture, many backed by western weaponry and powers. So called first world still profiteering from weapons sales and wars elsewhere, extraction of mineral resources (for your computer), cacao for chocolate depleting the rainforests, cheap labour, etc...a major factor in the current mass migration from poorer countries to richer countries. Historical and present causes.

[@raminkhajavi9513]

@@TomahAwkDJ7 yes, and they got even richer, with exploitation of natural resources, and have u heard of the slave trade?! Sorry to break what is obvious, and everyone knows! Don't feel guilty or bad, it's history! Why do u think the first world, became wealthier? Just automatically?

[@raminkhajavi9513]

@@TomahAwkDJ7 yes, and another reason we can comment on utube, is thanx to the arab muslim empire which contributed tremendously to western civilization as we know it. With the development of algorithms, replacing roman numeral, teaching u how to rinse your arse, and better hygiene, your favorite drink alcohol, progress in all branches of knowledge and science, saving snd translating many greek works which is the cornerstone of western civilization, philosophy, poetry, botany, agriculture, algebra and mathematics, astronomy, development of universities, etc.. While Europe was going through the dark ages and Christian inquisition tortures. And it is interesting how the muslims get blamed for the slave trade! More like servitude, which cannot compare with the slavery practiced by european powers! Many were eventually freed from servitude and many Africans in east, north, and even parts of West converted to Islam which to them was way more tolerant and kind.

[@raminkhajavi9513]

@@TomahAwkDJ7 also wealthy, wealthier, not much difference. And yes, your outlook on history, is from the perspective of european colonizers.

[@raminkhajavi9513]

@@TomahAwkDJ7 yes Europe became wealthy or wealthier because of colonization, exploitation of natural resources and cheap labour, slavery, subjugation. The 'only' is coming from you. And the progress in the muslin empire, was because u attribute utube to european innovation, ignoring it's roots. Plus, you ignore the overdevelopment of richer and more powerful empires, due to factors we mentioned, at the expense of underdevelopment and subjugation of the rest of the world, as we see today. In regards to Muslim slavery, way overblown. More like servitude and then given their freedom. Can't compare it to the same scale as european powers using white skin privilege as an excuse, chain and shackle brutality! The muslim world was may more progressive and tolerant at the time, compared to the Christian inquisition tortures and witch hunts, which lasted even further than the 'dark age'. Stop whitewashing history!
