West Africa
West Africa (I will have African) points to the area where the western part in Africa, countries of "upper Guinea" facing area called west Sudan and central Sudanese part, Atlantic, Gulf of Guinea concretely in the south side of the Sahara are included in. Much West Africa countries lead the Sahel in the domain. In the Maghreb countries including Algeria, historic; unity as the Mediterranean Sea world and the Arab world is strong, and usually assume it North Africa culturally.
It was most important local one, and, in West Africa, Nok culture that bloomed, and became one of the cliffs in the African Iron Age prospered in Nigeria, Jos Heights from in the about 15th century or it past B.C. in the origin of the African art in the black Africa history.
The strong dynasty including a Malian empire, the disadvantageous fellow empire accomplished the rise and fall in sequence in the Niger River basin including a Ghanaian kingdom until the 16th century from the before eighth century. These strong dynasties prospered by business of money and the halite with oasis cities such as Mauritanian シンゲッティ, ウアラタ, ティシット, ウアダン which became the world heritage. ダホメ kingdom is the place that prospered, and the Republic of Benin of the Gulf of Guinea bank takes the name out of the Benin kingdom of Nigeria. In addition, Liberia performed the founding of a country of in 1847 becomes the oldest independent country in West Africa.
West Africa was put under the control of the U.K., Germany, France while global colonization by the Great Powers accelerated over the 19th to the 20th century. France which invaded and attacked from the North Africa assumed most West Africa except the Gold Coast a colony. A fare was exploited by the marine transportation Arai Ann's that the colony government owned lighters. Even in 1,900 years when the British tramp steamer which became quick occupied 1/3 of the world freight capacity by a submarine cable, the marine transportation Arai Ann's followed rights and interests of West Africa.
These areas became independent after World War II in sequence mainly on 1960.
In the West Africa area, I form West African Economic Community (ECOWAS) and install the engine which the West Africa countries are very close, and contributes to economic development. The ECOWAS dispatched troops to Liberia led by the West Africa countries including Nigeria and Ghana as a peacekeeper (ECOMOG), and, at the time of a civil war in Liberia, it played a big role.
Because I hold the Sahel which is drylands, damage of a drought and the locust peril often occurs. A large quantity of outbreak (2004) () of サバクトビバッタ occurred in 2004.
