Kongo: Central African Superpower - African Empires Ep. 5 #southofthesahara

This video is part of Project South of The Sahara. It's a YouTube history collaboration where channels come together to celebrate the less told tales of African history, specifically those that take place south of the Sahara desert. So much of African historical focus is on North Africa, and while it's certainly important, the rest is a bit overshadowed. In this video we will focus on the Kingdom of Kongo and it's mark on African history.
