I'm waiting for OP to answer this, too.

OP, please learn so European history, then come back to this thread. [/quote]

Do you really want to know? Because Africa, although blessed with tremendous resources,  is and has been comparatively primitive.[/quote]

Read "Guns, germs and Steel". You are too simple to understand complex evolution of societies. But atleast make an effort to learn.

Africa didn't have usable land for large empires to evolve. Africa is either desert or thick equatorial forests for the most part. Africa doesn't have predictable rainfall or arable land on fertile river plains. Thats why big empires came in India/China with large, fertile, river fed plains. Europe came later on but empires never came out of sweden or Finland(too cold). They still came out of the german plains and northern italy which is flat.[/quote]
