"The world is like a sea of vicissitudes, and it is constantly changing. Xiaoxian, you see that in modern times, African brothers have been abused by Europeans, who knows that they will rise one day?"

Du Lengqiu looked from above the clouds, and only felt that the clouds and mist below were vast, and the earth was as green as a cover. He lowered his body and saw the whole picture of the African continent.

Africa, the full name of Africa.

Of course, this is the way the English language became, and it is not known what the Africans themselves call themselves. Or that there is no such name, let's say Asia.

The Chinese people call themselves the Heavenly Empire. The Japanese call themselves the land of the rising sun, while the Koreans call themselves the land of tranquility in the morning of three thousand miles.

All in all, no one calls themselves Asian. No one would call themselves Asians, and this was only after the big-stirring Britain came to Asia to make trouble.

Although Africa and Asia are brothers, their names have different origins. And after research, there are three more reliable statements, which can only be said to be more reliable.

The first version goes like this.

The name of a goddess revered by the Berbers living in North Africa. The goddess is a patron saint and is said to have been found in a temple by the Berbers as early as the 1st century BC, a young woman dressed in elephant skin. Since then, the name of the goddess "Africa" has been adopted as the name of the African continent.

The second way of saying it is this.

There is also a theory that the word Africa is derived from the Latin aprica, which means "sun-scorching" place, and the sun in North Africa is indeed much hotter than that of Greece and Rome on the northern shore of the Mediterranean.

The third is another such story.

In addition, afri is a common name for North Africans and Carthaginians, and is generally thought to be related to the Phoenician word afar, "dust".

The meaning of the name continued to expand after the ancient Romans defeated the Carthaginians in three Punic wars and established the province of Africa.

Initially, the name was limited to the northern regions of the African continent.

By the 2nd century AD, the Roman Empire's territory in Africa had expanded to cover a vast area of the northeast, from the Strait of Gibraltar to Egypt, and the Romans or natives who lived there were collectively referred to as Africans, meaning Africans. This place was also called "African", and later referred to the African continent in general.

Since the Middle Ages, it has also been used as an affrike in English to refer to Africa.

Africa is located in the western part of the Eastern Hemisphere, south of Europe, west of Asia, east of the Indian Ocean, west of the Atlantic Ocean, across the north and south of the equator, with an area of about 30.2 million square kilometers, accounting for 20.4% of the world's total land area, is the second largest continent in the world, and the second largest continent in terms of population.

The continent is bounded by Cape Haphon in the east, Cape Agulhas in the south, Cape Verde in the west, and Cape Gilan in the north. Viewed from above, the entire continent takes on the shape of an awl that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

And at the bottom of the awl is the famous Mandela's homeland - South Africa.

The African continent has a vast plateau, with plateaus at an altitude of 500 meters to 1,000 meters accounting for more than 60% of Africa's area, and is known as the "plateau continent".

In Africa, mountain plateaus above 2,000 altitudes account for about 5% of Africa's area. Plains below 200 metres above sea level are mostly found along the coast, less than 10% of Africa's area. The average altitude of the African continent is 650 meters.

The topography of Africa is very well defined, roughly bounded by the line from the mouth of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the northern edge of the Ethiopian highlands.

The southeastern half is higher and the northwestern half is lower.

The southeastern half is known as High Africa, with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, including the Ethiopian Plateau (above 2,000 meters above sea level, known as the "Roof of Africa"), the East African Plateau and the South African Plateau, and the Kalahadi Basin on the South African Plateau.

The northwest half is called low Africa, with an altitude of less than 500 meters, and most of it is low plateaus and basins, including the upper Nile Basin, the Congo Basin and the Chad Basin.

Africa's taller mountain ranges are mostly located along the coastal strip of the plateau, with the Atlas Mountains on the northwest coast, the Drakens Mountains on the southeast coast, and Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro on the east.

Mount Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano with an altitude of 5,895 meters, making it the highest peak in Africa.

East Africa has the world's largest rift valley zone, the east branch of the rift belt from the mouth of the Shire River in the south, through Lake Malawi, to the north through the central East African Plateau and the central Ethiopian Plateau, through the Red Sea to the northern part of the Dead Sea, about 6,400 kilometers long;

In northern Africa, the most famous is the Sahara Desert.

The name "Sahara" is derived from the Arabic language, which was introduced from the language of the Tuareg, a local nomadic people, whose language means "desert".

The desert was formed about 2.5 million years ago.

During the last ice age, the Sahara was not yet a desert, the climate was similar to that of East Africa, and about 30,000 ancient petroglyphs were found in the desert area, about half of which were in the N'Ajar plateau in southern Algeria, depicting river animals, such as crocodiles.

Dinosaur fossils have also been found. But since 3000 B.C., there has been little vegetation in the Sahara, except around the Nile Valley and the oases scattered in the desert.

But when Du Lengqiu and Qi Xiaoxian descended on the Sahara Desert again, there was no trace of yellow sand anymore, and there were lush grasslands everywhere and black people strewn with corpses.

Qi Xiaoxian was immediately shocked.

He is no stranger to death, on the embankment of the sea, humans and alien beasts fight each other bloodily for living space and for survival. Even if the blood was sprinkled in the blue sea, not a single soldier hesitated.

But at that time, he was full of enthusiasm and only wanted to serve the motherland.

As for life or death, he didn't think about it at all.

And now it was presented to him that it was completely different, naked, without the slightest honor, slaughtering the plane with firearms.

In his life, he had never seen such a horrific slaughter.

Du Lengqiu seemed to have expected it, and he was not moved at all.

He was expressionless and sneered: "Xiaoxian, isn't this normal? If you think about the history of European colonization of Africa, you will know that this is just a repetition of history. ”

Since the Portuguese occupation of Ceuta in 1415, European powers began to colonize Africa, reaching its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when about 95% of Africa's territory was divided by the foreign powers, and its resources were plundered for a long time. After 1947, the colonies became independent one after another, and the African Independence Year symbolized the end of Africa's colonial era from the rule of foreign powers.

Africa, however, is only nominally free from European exploitation.

The European colonizers, dressed up in a veneer, carried out round after round of plundering of Africa economically and minerally. Europeans, there is only one thing, which is robbery, or to put it mildly - turn your money into mine.

Now that Europe is sinking, they will honestly sink into the sea, and the sun will literally come out of the west.

Africa's Rise?

Never.
