LESSONS AFRICA MUST LEARN!!!! Lesson the baby child Africa must learn from Europe & America evolution of power.During the thirteenth century a number of events took place in Europe.The most elaborate of these emerged in South & Central America and Mexico.They first developed a united complex political system and a large network of paved roads that welded together the population of many tribes under a single government.They then built a sophisticated culture with a written language,a numerical system similar to the Arabic,an accurate calendar,an advanced agricultural and industrial system.With a precarious rule establishment,they built elaborate administrative,educational and medical systems.There were also substantial cities which produced elaborate settlements with striking religious and ceremonial structures. Evolution of changes in particular also encouraged Europeans to look toward new things.ln the fifteenth century there was the catastrophic epidemic called the Black Death of the bubonic plague that killed as many as half of the people of the continent too far from AIDS and Ebola impact in Africa.Later the population grew so fast.With the growth came a reawakening of commerce and a general increase in prosperity compared to an African Family Planning imposed on people.A new merchant class emerged which made long-distance sea travel more feasible in navigation and ship-building. The emergence of new governments that were more united and powerful than the feeble political entities of the feudal past against the ones experienced mostly in Africa inspired many great ventures in Europe.Strong new monarchs leadership emerged,created centralized nation-states like in America and grew eager to enhance the commercial development of their nations with integrity.Actually Marco Polo was the father of this evolution in the fourteenth century. Central to this trending emergence in the West,trading drive was the core emergence of a new concept of economic life called Mercantilism.Mercantilism rested on the belief the worlds wealth was finite,that one person or nation could grow rich only at the expense of another,and that a nations economic health depended solely on selling as much as possible to foreign poor countries and buying as little as possible from them like it has been happening in Africa eg Chinese trend in Africa today.0ne key result was the increased attractiveness of acquiring colonies in the sixteenth century which became the source of raw materials and a market for the colonizing powers and goods in Africa which were too exploitative. Ladies and Gentlemen,can we now realize where things went wrong in Africa and what should be done now to transform Africa with honesty and integrity?
