The REAL reasons European colonization of Africa was possible
Contrary to popular belief, the European colonization of the Americas was made possible not by the Europeans having superior technology, but by the inadvertent introduction of pathogens from the Eastern Hemisphere that had not previously been present in the Americas.
This accounts for the fact that when the Europeans were colonizing the Americas in the 1500s and 1600s, they were not also colonizing Africa and Asia (with a few exceptions). It was not possible for the Europeans to colonize most parts of Africa and Asia at the time, because the people there already had the same technologies and the same diseases that the Europeans had.
Of course, Europeans did end up colonizing Africa and Asia, but not until the 1800s. This was suddenly possible then, when it hadn't been earlier, because the Industrial Revolution happened to begin in Europe then. Within just a few generations, industrial technology also spread to the rest of the world, but by then the Europeans and people of European descent had managed to establish their preeminence in world affairs.
The economic, military, and technological superiority of the countries of Europe and of people of European descent traces back only as far as the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. Before that, Europeans had no advantages over the countries of Asia and Africa.
“Before the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s, the Europeans had no military and technological superiority advantages over Africa.”
People, especially Black people=Abibifoɔ have this perception that Europeans just strolled into Africa and suddenly conquered and colonized Africa with ease without no resistance from the Africans. Africans and Europeans have had direct contact with one another through trade and commerce for centuries, even millennia.
Europeans had been trying to conquer and colonize Africa for centuries prior to the 1800’s and every time they failed. The African warriors always pushed them back to the coasts of Africa were they were allowed to settle and do their business and trade with the natives on the coasts. It was not until the late 1800’s that Europe was able to conquer and colonize Africa through the introduction of the Industrial Revolution; which gave rise to the inventions of superior technologies and weapons, especially the machine gun.
Which leads to the topic of slavery. Slavery would not and could never had happened to the extent it did without the consent and authorization of African Kings and African Kingdoms. This is an uncomfortable truth that many Africans=Abibifoɔ don’t want to admit but it’s very true.
The idea that Africans were uncivilized and helpless people that were captured and forced into European boats without any resistance and pushback by African warriors, is totally untrue and historically false.
There were many many many African Kingdoms that were extremely powerful, even more powerful than most European countries, prior to the mid-late 1800’s.
The Industrial Revolution, especially the machine gun, is what changed history in favor for the Europeans.
Why do you think America, Europe, and the west in general are worried about China and wants to see China slow down on its hyper industrialization growth.
Because, America, Europe and the west in general, want to maintain its huge advantage it has over non-industrialized nations, especially over African nations.
The world is changing and America, Europe and the west in general are trying their best to maintain their white terror domination order and white supremacy position of power in the world.
