Why has Africa been unable to develop? What has hindered the "rise" of Africa?

Before my classmate heard that I was going to the northeast, he naively asked me if everyone slept on the kang. In the eyes of southerners, the northeast is almost equal to a province. But in fact, I went to a metropolis with floor heating and three northeastern provinces. Compared with its peers, there is not only one country called Africa in Africa. Many people certainly don't know that Egypt is also Africa. Poor places in Africa are poor, but there are also rich places. By the sea, oasis resources development is not bad.

I remember a book that recorded an old saying that no matter how many crimes the British committed, they left at least a relatively complete political and industrial system to the independent former colonies, while most French people left only a mess. At first glance, Africa seems to be similar, and the foundation of British-occupied areas is better than that of French-occupied areas. I don't know if this is because (the British will choose a place with more potential to colonize) or because (the British are better at managing colonies).

Cultural circle and economic circle are more telling than rigid geographical circle. For example, many countries in North Africa actually belong to the Middle East. They are more homologous, closer and have more contacts with those oil-producing Israeli countries. They are more like small countries than South Africa.

Are the borders of African countries European colonists? Graffiti? And become. The colonists also brought the so-called national concept to African tribes. Later, wars between African countries and massacres caused by contradictions and hatred among ethnic groups within countries were mostly related to this. To put it bluntly, the influence brought by the colonists is deeply rooted and difficult to eliminate.

History, culture and politics are not the fundamental reasons. Just look at the IQ chart and you will know that Europe and America rose first in the Renaissance. Only East Asia rose in modern times, because the average IQ of East Asia is higher than that of Europe and America, and Africa will not rise. Because the average IQ is only over 60, how can mathematics go up? In the future, East Asia, Europe and America will still dominate, and there is no possibility for other regions to rise.

In fact, the poor in poor countries basically just want a way out, not only in Africa, but also in Latin America. Typically, Brazil and Africa have good sports, because they can only rely on this to achieve class leap. Naturally, Africans who appear in the media are good at sports and especially like to use strong black people as actors (without him, the stereotype left by slavery). Over time, everyone thinks that black sports are good. In fact, if you have really seen photos of Africa, they are basically skin and bones, and you can't eat enough. I don't believe you will tell me that they are good at sports. I noticed a very interesting thing. In South Africa, after Mandela reformed South Africa, although his reform was essentially a failure, the black people in South Africa were at least human (before that, in the eyes of the white people who controlled South Africa, the black people in South Africa were only bipeds). Then, their life was a little better, because Mandela forced the factory to recruit black workers. But because they haven't received any good education, they still have chiefs and whites on their heads. Their lives are still very bad, but some whites are as bad as them.

Then, many blacks from outside South Africa came to South Africa, and these foreign blacks were discriminated against by South African blacks. If you want to develop capitalism and complete modernization, you have to safeguard your sovereignty, your currency has sovereignty, you have no sovereignty, and domestic capital belongs to foreign capitalists. Foreign capitalists will not engage in national construction with you at the expense of their own interests. If currency has no sovereignty, your country is finished. The rise of Japan and South Korea is due to the first island chain and the second island chain. Vietnam has an industry because people have fought and western capital has been emptied. Strangely, those countries manipulated by the west, Africa and India, can rise.

I don't think it has anything to do with race If you say so, American Indians who are more Ferrara than tropical Africa are yellow people, and Australians who were killed by Europeans. They are worse than Indians and have been killed by Europeans. How do you explain this? At that time, whoever really occupied Europe, Asia and North Africa had civilization. At that time, this place supported frequent communication. Why are there no countries in Africa that really transfer industries? Isn't it geopolitics? East Asia is a real big country game field and the forefront of the game between the Soviet Union and the United States. Both big countries are trying to support small countries here in an attempt to confront each other. East Asia's military power is extremely dense. What we are talking about here is not wool, but the real big countries support small countries to confront each other. Africa is not the frontier of great power confrontation. Of course, wool can be pulled, and those countries do not need real industrialization.

Africa is dominated by tropical climate, and the curve of coastline can also be roughly seen from the picture.

Industrialization must have a suitable geographical position. After World War II, the first countries to undertake the industrial transfer between the United States and the Soviet Union were basically the frontline countries of the Cold War? East and West Europe, Japan, Northeast China. Then there must be a stable social environment and good labor resources. So there are four little dragons and four little tigers, with convenient shipping and good labor force. As for why this country has stable society and acceptable quality of labor force, it is related to political and cultural issues. Either way, Africa is quite inferior.

Look at North America across the Atlantic, and tropical Africa. There are jungles everywhere. It was not until the19th century that European talents went deep into the African continent. And watching the documentary, we also know that the tribes and even the languages on both sides of the river are different, which shows how closed the communication is, so of course it is backward. In this state, Europeans were dragged into the world market in the19th century, and of course they were just enslaved.

In fact, there is really nothing good in Africa. It rains heavily all day in the rainforest, and once the crops are stained with pollen, they cannot bear fruit. Out of the rainforest is the grassland, and you can barely grow some crops. The plateau is not hot enough and the yield is not high. The rest of the foundation is desert, but there is enough heat and no water. Scattered planting areas can't gather population, which further hinders the development of industry and commerce.

I personally think the root cause is culture. The modern history of Africa was conquered by various civilizations, which led to the mixed culture. They didn't learn anything. They have studied British and American democracy, but they are only superficial. Any political form is actually based on a systematic culture. Why are there so many Islamic countries? Because he is deeply embedded in religion, American democracy cannot blossom and bear fruit under the banner of the stars and the moon. In my own words, it may be full of mistakes and omissions, and it can be regarded as attracting jade. I think when culture and politics can be self-consistent, a powerful country can emerge. In fact, this kind of thing is not common. I think there are only two in human history. The first is the democratic and free government in the west, and the second is the scientific and democratic government in China.

African native culture flaunts modernity simply by cutting, but in fact it can't escape the barrier of clan system, and the traditional culture is very strong, which determines that it naturally can't reach the height of Europe and America. Here, we want to talk about China, where other countries are becoming stronger. We use the word "rise", but we prefer to use the word "revival". I think our civilization can reach a high level, but at a certain point in history, productivity can't adapt to the times. Once properly adjusted, we will be the return of the king.

To sum up, there are actually four points:

1. Africa itself is not a whole, and even the social structure of Africa is a projection of this world pattern. The same Africans live in Egypt and Central Africa, and the gap is as big as Mexico and the United States. Africans themselves disagree. Looking forward to the reunification of Africa, it is better to look forward to the reunification of China, Vietnam and Japan. Developed countries in Africa don't care about Africa at all. Just as zg doesn't care about the development of Vietnam. This makes it impossible for Africa to have any zz synergy to realize the reform within a big country.

2. Has there ever been an organization with a sense of historical mission and advanced productivity in Africa? It does exist, but none of them can make it exciting. Why? Because Africa is backward but not poor. In some parts of Africa, agricultural water and heat conditions are quite good, and there is no shortage of food. Few people are short of food.

3. Is it possible to industrialize Africa? As long as the world's factories exist, there will be no possibility of overall industrialization in Africa, and it will never reach the level of zg industrialization. If the processing trade industry turns to Africa in an all-round way, there is still a little hope, but now it is 2020, and the industrial system will be automated soon. Where can cheap labor get the oil and water of processing trade?

4. Education. There is no shortage of international students in Africa, but the problem is that they will definitely not be able to go back. Why? Because Africa has no hope and no development. Why is there no development? Please see 123.

It really has something to do with national character. Powerful countries are basically located in temperate regions. In the long river of history, people in these areas will starve to death if they are lazy. Yes, they really starved to death and disappeared physically, so lazy genes will be weakened and eliminated. The tropical region is blessed with abundant resources, so you won't starve to death if you just eat some fruit. If you don't worry about this meal, you will naturally be optimistic and lazy. Of course, I think the system also matters. Kenya, Ethiopia and other countries have developed rapidly in recent years after learning the China model. But in the final analysis, the system still needs people to formulate and implement. The more foreigners I meet, the more I feel that people are really different.
