AFRICA from 16th to 21st century
Africa is a continent that boasts a rich and diverse history, which is not surprising given that it is the second largest continent after Asia and presently has the largest number of countries. The northern coast of Africa, which touches the Mediterranean Sea, is characterized by mountainous terrain, while just south of this lies the Sahara, the largest non-polar desert on the planet. The Sahara has played a significant role in shaping the history of Africa, as it has acted as a division between the North and sub-Saharan Africa. The civilizations that formed around the Nile River Valley came to dominate the North, while the sub-Saharan region is characterized by a variety of terrain, including grasslands, which slowly develop as one heads south, and tropical rainforests. The Niger River, which flows through the sub-Saharan region, has been an important river valley in African history, and the Congo Basin, which is home to the rainforests of the Congo Basin and the mighty Congo River, is also of great significance. In East Africa, which touches the Indian Ocean, the terrain is more mountainous, with plateaus and large lakes. It is believed that the Cradle of humankind is located in this region, in modern-day Kenya. In the south of Africa, there are dry deserts like in Namibia, but also hills and plateaus, which are home to some of the most valuable mineral resources in the world. While it is not certain where agriculture first began in Africa, it is believed to have been about 7,000 years ago in the Sahel, the area between the Sahara and the Savannah. While cultivation was easy in this region, the suboptimal soil and scarce rainfall made more intensive farming impossible, so populations remained relatively stable. This was not a problem, as they relied mainly on hunting and gathering. It was only after the Sahara became drier, turning into a desert, that some populations migrated south, deeper into the grasslands, spreading their farming techniques and leading to more diverse crops, such as tropical fruits, which are only able to grow in wetter climates. Other populations also migrated, leading to the diverse history of Africa that we see today.

African history
Africa, being the second largest continent after Asia and having the largest number of countries, has a rich and diverse history. The northern coast of Africa is mountainous, while the Sahara, the largest non-polar desert on the planet, lies just south of it. The Sahara has had a significant impact on the history of sub-Saharan Africa, which is markedly different from that of the North. The Nile River Valley gave rise to several civilizations, and moving further south, the sub-Saharan region has a variety of terrains, including grasslands, tropical rainforests, and river valleys such as the Niger and Congo. East Africa is mountainous with plateaus and large lakes, and the Cradle of humankind is believed to be located in modern-day Kenya. In the south of Africa, there are dry deserts, hills, and plateaus, which are home to some of the most valuable mineral resources in the world.
