S1 E1: The European’s Atrocities In Africa

Starting in the 1400’s I talk about how the Europeans have meddled in African affairs for centuries. I cover the start of the slave trade, how the scramble for Africa started and how Africa today still struggles with the scars of how the European powers left the African people. Sources for this episode are as follows: The slave trade by Hugh Thomas Congo to cape early Portuguese explorers by Eric Axelson. https://www.joh.cam.ac.uk/library/library_exhibitions/schoolresources/exploration/scramble_for_africa. https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Adwan
