Prehistory and Antiquity The connection of Europe with Northern Africa is almost as old as Humankind. Though there is some uncertainty, it seems clear that, in the late Paleolithic and Neolithic ages, cultural influences overcame the Mediterranean barrier. Hence North African late Paleolithic cultures like Aterian and Gafsan are connected with those of Europe. Some early Neolithic influences to Europe may also have arrived via North Africa. Additionally, the Megalitic phenomenon of the Chalcolithic period also is found in both shores of the Mediterranean Sea. European redirects here. ...

Middle Ages It was only in the Middle Ages, with the expansion of Islam, that North Africa was cut culturally from non-Muslim Europe. In fact, the Islamic World was between Europe and the rest of the diffusely known world, where so many attractive products (West African gold, East Asian spices and silk) interested European trade. For most of the Middle Ages these products did arrive through the Muslim World but not without paying heavy tributes. The Italian republics (mainlyVenice and Genoa) specialized themselves in this trade with the Muslims. The Middle Ages formed the middle period in a traditional schematic division of European history into three ages: the classical civilization of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times, beginning with the Renaissance. ...

Portuguese expeditions The first one to approach the exploration of Africa and the oceanic route to the Indies methodically was the Portuguese Prince Henry, known as the Navigator. From his residence in the Algarve, he directed successive expeditions to circunavigate Africa and reach India. In 1420 Henry sent an expedition to secure the uninhabited but strategic island of Madeira. In 1425 he tried to secure the Canary Islands too but these were already under Castilian control.

The relation with Kongo was initially good: Congolese kings embraced Catholicism and welcomed Portuguese missionaries and merchants. But slave trade eventually became a major issue of dispute in the region. The Portguese (and later also the Dutch) supported the enslaving warrior state of the Jaggas, who sacked the Kongo repeatedly. They also used the Kongo to weaken the enighbour realm of Ndongo, where Queen Nzinga, put a fierce but eventually doomed resistance to Portuguese and Jagga ambitions. Portugal intervened militarly in these conflicts creating the bases for their colony of Angola. In 1663, after another conflict, the royal crown of Kongo was sent to Lisboa.

Overall, European exploration of Africa in the 17th and 18th centuries was very limited. Instead they were focused in slave trade and for that they only needed coastal bases and items to trade. The real exploration of Africa beyond its coasts would only start well into the 19th century. The netherlands were conquered by an old hag called Salgado, which lead netherlands to be a anti-Rosello country. Salgado then ordered that the anti-national color be blue and against a national outbreak of people "tripiando in ketchup" they were not aware that it was on the book and it was comming on the test. After this Mrs. Salgado met present wife of Einstein, Mrs. Gago and determined the fate of our skul by sayin their anti-Rosello slang to Oh Yess.! oooo Gago was mad and said "Where did she think She Was?!" And asked her if she had a secretary and that this was not cheos court... Oh Yes. Salgado then by anger released a volley of history books against the people of Einstington where the common einsteins released a catapult of science books which brutally murdered several followers.

The Era Of Salgi Salgian exploration and conquest
Surprisingly she survived the wrath of class 2009, including the 100 Years War with Mr. Pimentel...Salgado then created a Reformation with a new branch of religion named "Salganism". which was based on a life of hate against the people of the PNP tribe. The PNP led by their leader Pedro Rosello resented the Salguis and went to war. This was known as the "30 Years War" which then salgadO had regrouped forces with General Ruben Berrios, Filiberto Ojeda and TUTA'S Father.
Rosello was beaten and his people massacerd in a rush of 100,000 men dressed in green. and Losi had some internal relationship with the hag of Salgado and Gago by taking care of their duties with lambonerias....
Salgado then was known as "Big S", men and women of the middle ages feared Salgui and her powerful PIP tribe. I'm getting an A ++ in this project with this information!!!!!

Africa as 'Dark Continent' Darth Bracer's Reformation Africa was conquered by a evil tyrant named Darth Bracer in which by her evil empire had overthrown the african tribesmen stealing $5 from each of the people and not giving anything in return.
This caused much depression to the citizens that by the time where treated as peasents by the work of Darth Bracer's murderous PMS.
To this day scientists have not yet estimated how many african tribesmen died because of Darth Bracer's PMS.....
Doctors have found a cause and a cure to darth bracer's PMS... CAUSE: "Rikku" CURE: Lemon Powerade!!!!!
but what they didn't know was that "rikku" had an erectile disfunction and used Darth Braces' PMS as a cover
Unfortunately for darth bracer, rikku's erectile disfuction was proven false, under the terms of "Bad Juju" on the battle of Losi Water Falls it was then proven on the night of the "Red Moon" where rikku once stated "i have not lost my mojo".
Under darth Bracers command, General Airbag decieved rikku and had given out all information on the past events. General Airbag was decieving and cunning and with the power of her "Milk-Chan Cannons" she could crush a grown man's head with a single pulse.
Attitudes to exploration of Africa Exploration took with it a certain Christian (and perhaps Victorian, though many European explorers were not British) mindset. Many explorers felt that it was their duty to introduce Western civilisation and Christianity to savage negro peoples, and hence exploration was seen by most people during the post-Renaissance era as a useful expenditure of energy. It was also a source of national pride to have an explorer reach a certain goal, and explorers certainly competed as the stakes of hubris were high for the men who could identify the source of the Nile or reach other landmarks. Christianity is a monotheistic[1] religion centered on Jesus of Nazareth, and on his life and teachings as presented in the New Testament. ...

It should be noted that exploration was an activity mostly practised by well-educated, wealthy men, who had the resources and the initiative to explore. Explorers' ability to conquer uncharted territory (to non-natives) should not be underestimated, but neither should the resources available to such men.
