What Africa might look like if it had never been colonized

[Leasy]

Smh at this argument.

I believe Africa and China would of had large ties I mean very close since they been trading for thousand of years.

Arabs would of taken over Europe if Africa successfully fought them off. The best country in the world would of been in Africa.

South America would be like the Pacific islands or New Guinea.

Let add because I am not that busy at work.

Europeans would of still been coming to Africa for knowledge and probably still went to America but fail at their conquest.

Christianity and Islam wouldn't be prominent in Africa and only be used in the European and Arab spectrum.

Arabs probably would of tried to take over India and Russia.

Jews would probably move to Africa with the Ethiopians.

Europe countries will def be fighting to this day also.

The map looks accurate if the status quo remained for a certain period of time, however in my home country every few hundred years we had new powers/clans taking over after defeating weak kingdoms. My Clan started off in the furthest north and eventually take over the whole south after defeating the kingdom there in the 1800's, to this day we own that land. However the British put a halt to our land grab expedition. Who knows, we might have expanded or we might have been defeated to oblivion.

But Arabs did try to take over India, and made first muslim colonies in India ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_in_the_Indian_subcontinent#Early_Muslim_communities ), there is no need for a fiction scenario.
There has been a lot of contact between Arabs and Indians throughout history, there is a reason our "Arabic numbers" are called "Indian numbers" by Arabs themselves (the history of decimal system is actually much more complex and is really interesting).



Russia on the other hand was always very difficult to conquer because of their winter. It was too harsh even for Germans, that at least know winter. Arabs would have been totally unprepared in any scenario, real or fictional.

My point exactly double that take over if they didn't invade Africa.

THE NORTH side up map... is only due to preference and convection... IT is not the right way. The South side up isn't correct either.

It's the way greek astonomers wanted it-- most other cultures had it Southside up. It shouldn't matter but JUST like how everything black is bad (black mail, evil, etc) and White is good (pure, lil white lie, etc) ... The north/south map shyt has pushed our minds a certain way about North being more up and positive. @Type Username Here

interesting when you consider most of the first-world is in the northern hemisphere

The problem is we are all too connected on the Mediterranean.

No Arab conquest of Africa means Byzantine empire would have been stronger as well. Therefore, Byzantines would have resisted better to Slavic Barbarian migration to the Balkans. Which would have lead to the greater concentration of Slavs in the motherland, therefore making more difficult the enslavement of Slavs within the Arab slave trade, and the necessity for them to look for slaves elsewhere, possibly turning again to Africa.

Arabs are white people.

I think you are confusing Arabized people with the actual ethnicity of being Arab. The ethnic Arabs are most definitely not white. In fact they are most closely related to Africans. However, most of the people that are now called Arabs (for example, the Syrians, Lebanese, North Africans, Palestinians, Sudanese, etc.) are people that 2,000 years ago were called something else and spoke other languages. They just became Arabized with the spread of Islam in the same way the peoples of Latin America became Hispanic even though they were native Americans or came from Africa. Being Arab today is more cultural than it is ethnic.

So yes, there are many who identify as Arab that are white. But then again there are also many who identify as Arab that are black. It is FALSE to say that ethnic Arabs are white. History and linguistics point to that being FALSE.

If we're going by that, then there are a lot of Greek and Italian people, along with those in the Balkans, who aren't white.

The funny thing is this was an existing idea in nothern Europe some 18 years ago, when I travelled around there :D

I guess it probably changed now, with the immigration from all over the world.
