Eli5: Why is Africa still Underdeveloped

1.73K viewsEconomicsOther

I understand the fact that the slave trade and colonisation highly affected the continent, but fact is African countries weren’t the only ones affected by that so it still puzzles me as to why African nations have failed to spring up like the Super power nations we have today

People often blame the slave trade and colonization but the reality is that geography is destiny.

Rich countries were always going to be rich and poor countries were always going to be poor.

Africa is crazy rich in natural resources but cursed by geography
