Wow, that’s a little broad and you’re talking about dozens of countries.

- the Arab conquest of the Maghreb
- Apartheid – its beginning and end
- the partition of Africa by colonial powers (1880-1914)
- the political independence movements (1960s-1970s)
- Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) by the IMF/World Bank in the 80s
- Rwanda, Somalia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, DR Congo, Angola – wars and ethnic cleansing
